2021 Fisher Vineyards 'Mountain Estate' Chardonnay Sonoma
Established in 1999, the Mountain Estate Vineyard hosts Chardonnay vines thriving in steep, rocky soils at an elevation of 1,300 feet. Positioned on our sole northeast-facing slope with a 45-degree fall line, these vines benefit from cooler morning sunlight and limited exposure to intense afternoon heat. This unique orientation fosters a gradual ripening process and optimal maturation of our Chardonnay grapes.
The Fisher family has the sort of vineyards that will cause a winemaker’s pulse to quicken – a vitally important advantage in a game where the conversation starts (and ends) with raw materials. From their gorgeous estate property on the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas range, to their Lamb vineyard in Calistoga, they have some magical land at their disposal. Winemaker Whitney Fisher and her team are farming these plots to exacting standards, and the results are some of the best wines in the Valley! You owe it to yourself to mix up a case of these fabulous wines.
