Vintage
2015 made for an excellent vintage in the Sonoma Coast! An early start to the growing season was followed by warm temperatures. Consistently sunny days throughout the spring and summer resulted in even ripening of the fruit. The grapes from this vintage were prime quality with a nice acidity. The fruit was harvested from September 15th – September 17th, 2015 at optimum ripeness.
Roth Estate
Our mission at Roth Estate winery is to work with the best vineyards to produce complex, superior quality wines that express true varietal character. Our Chardonnay is a regional blend of Sonoma Coast fruit from vineyards defined by their coastal influence throughout the lengthy region. These cool conditions are caused by the fog and wind that breeze through the Petaluma Gap and lengthen the region's growing season. The cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean is ideal for bright, vibrant, full-flavored Chardonnay.
Winery Background
Great wine begins with great fruit and the relationship between terroir, rootstock, clone and vineyard methods is at the heart of it. For the 2014 vintage, we selected pristine vineyards from the coolest parts of the Sonoma Coast to showcase the very best the region has to oer. The wine was barrel fermented and aged sur lie in French and Hungarian oak for 11 months, 30% of which was new oak. Tropical fruit and crisp apple aromas dominate the nose and then open up to creamy hints of vanilla. This 2014 Chardonnay is bright and crisp on the palate with flavors of yellow apple, pear, ripe pineapple, and orange blossom, balanced by an elegant accent of oak and vanilla. Its bright acidity and minerality highlight its Somoma Coast origins for a lingering finish.
