The 2022 harvest in Northern California’s Napa and Sonoma regions had a great beginning with early rains, followed by consistent spring and mild summer weather. Harvest began in mid-August and progressed rapidly through a late summer heat spike, resulting in the harvesting of all white grapes by mid-September. The overall quality of the 2022 vintage is incredible, with concentrated flavors and great freshness.

The Olema Chardonnay Reserve is a blend produced from premier vineyards in Sonoma County. A portion of the blend was aged in barrels for a rich, creamy texture with the remainder fermented in stainless steel which preserves the bright, vibrant fruit and crispness.

This rich, full-bodied Chardonnay opens with aromas of crushed rock, Anjou pear, fresh-cut straw and Madagascar vanilla. The palate is round and supple, with notes of nectarine, hazelnut, and brioche highlighted by fresh stone fruit flavors that linger throughout the elegant finish.
