Charles Heintz

Vintage Notes

The Heintz family has owned the ranch for over 100 years. Ideal Goldridge soil, healthy, ma-ture vines, warm days balanced with cool nights and a grower who has been working the land since 1982 all contribute to Robert Parker’s assessment of the vineyard as “…one of the great grand cru Chardonnay sites in California.”

Winemaker Notes

Wine“The 2023 Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay bursts with bold notes of juicy white peaches, Bosc pears, and honeydew melon, followed by hints of ginger, marzipan, and beeswax. The medium to full-bodied palate has fantastic tension and a gorgeous silkiness to the texture framing the bright, bold orchard fruit layers, finishing with a real skip in its step.”
