Each vintage of Estate Chardonnay represents the finest expression of this noble varietal from Open Claim Vineyard. Our 3 acres of Chardonnay are located at the top crest of the vineyard and the most exposed blocks to the coastal winds passing through the Van Duzer corridor. This combination of high elevation, continuous air flow, and sedimentary soils help retain acidity and freshness complimenting the wines ripe citrus fruit flavors.
