Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"The Bishop’s Peak Chardonnay represents a mélange of our Chardonnay vineyards in the San Luis Obispo Coast region, including Oliver’s Vineyard, Monte Sereno, Las Ventanas and the Rincon Vineyard. The 2023 season began with a wet winter and saturated soil conditions due to a series of atmospheric river systems that brought 49 1/2 inches of rain to the Arroyo Grande Valley, more than double the long-term average. Yields were the highest since 2018 and the wines of 2023 express charm and approachability.
Aromas of papaya, orange rind, pineapple and white lillies lead to flavors of kiwi, crushed rocks, cream, honeydew and meyer lemon. The finish is vibrant and thirst quenching. Try the 2023 Bishop’s Peak Chardonnay as an aperitif or with your favorite vegetable sushi roll or sashimi. This wine is vegan."

"The 2023 Chardonnay is laced with hints of tangerine peel, dried herbs and chamomile. This is an especially savory, earthy style that will please readers who appreciate Chardonnays built on nuance more than forward fruit." -AG, Jul/2024
