The Mother of Pearl shells found on our coastline with their eye-catching lustrous mineral iridescence inspired the naming of this Chardonnay. The 2021 Mother of Pearl Chardonnay is made from specially selected heritage clones which we grow in the higher elevations of our maritime Fort Ross Vineyard. This wine expresses the subtle balance between its signature minerality and delightful flavors of lemon tart and white peach.  Hints of crème brûlée and poached pear, also tease the palate, adding richness to this complex and multidimensional tasting experience. This envoy from our maritime cool climate vineyard finishes with lively, fresh acidity and minerality, suggesting a long life ahead.
