Longboard Vineyards Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard 2012

A Chardonnay to remind you why this is the king of white wines.  The grapes, all clone 76 come from a single vineyard block from the Rochioli estate, our neighbors on Westside road just south of Healdsburg.  We press the grapes directly into French oak barrels and let our "resident" yeast take over, a slow cool fermentation ensues.

 Rich but not heavy, with a great minerality, this wine will continue improving for years in the bottle
