The 2024 winegrowing season in California began with a hot, sunny summer that provided ideal ripening conditions. Just as harvest approached, cooler weather arrived, allowing the fruit to develop beautifully balanced acidity and vibrant flavors. These optimal conditions have resulted in wines that are both fresh and expressive, promising exceptional quality from the 2024 vintage.

The 2024 Olema Chardonnay captures the essence of California with aromas of crisp golden apple, ripe Bartlett pear, lemon zest, and a hint of white blossom. On the palate, layers of juicy apple and pear mingle with subtle notes of toasted almond and a touch of vanilla bean, all supported by lively acidity that brings energy and poise to the wine’s generous texture. The finish is bright and lingering, showcasing both freshness and depth.
