This wine is filled with verve and energy from start to finish, possessing rounded luxuriance in the attack and an exciting crispness that builds with each second in your mouth. A beautiful wine that is precisely the chardonnay we want to be making.

About the Winery

Nestled atop the Mayacamas Mountains, straddling the renowned wine regions of both Sonoma and Napa counties, resides the distinguished Pride Mountain Vineyards. It boasts an astounding 235-acre estate. This Los Angeles vineyard is a testament to the prowess of vine cultivation in the verdant lands of Northern California.

In the hands of the Pride family since 1991, the vineyard leans into its mountaintop terroir to produce wine of superior quality. Not only does it bask in the California sunshine, but the vineyard also benefits from cool marine air blowing in from the nearby Pacific Ocean, creating a perfect environment for cultivating grapes.

At 2,100 feet above the sea level, the vineyard is committed to sustainable farming practices. They employ 'dry farming' techniques, conserving water by relying solely on the groundwater and rainfall. This not only benefits the environment, but some experts assert that it enhances the flavour of the grapes, and in turn, the wine.
