The Rochioli Vineyard, established in 1938 by Joe Rochioli Sr., is renowned for its fertile, gravelly soils along the Russian River. The Chardonnay blocks are located at the eastern edge of the estate, benefiting from the unique terroir. The partnership between Gary Farrell Winery and the Rochioli Vineyard began over 30 years ago, becoming a fundamental part of the winery’s story in the Russian River Valley.

This Chardonnay offers a lush and inviting profile with aromas of stone fruits, crème brûlée, and vanilla paste, set against a backdrop of climbing flowers. Fresh lemon zest provides a brilliant counterpoint, inviting further exploration. On the palate, it is precise and balanced, featuring tangy citrus flavors that integrate seamlessly throughout the mid-palate, contributing to an exceptionally long, mouthwatering finish.
