Vinen
Rodgers Creek Vineyard i Petaluma Gap leverer her druer til en perfekt rundet og cremet Chardonnay. Den leder stilmæssigt tankerne hen på toppen af hvid Bourgogne. En fantastisk hvidvin.
Producenten
Oestermann Family Wines er en far-datter-duo, baseret i Napa Valley. Fokus er topvine til fair priser. Efter at have været en del af Tech-miljøet i Silicon Valley, besluttede Klaus i 2009 at forfølge sin passion. Over ni årgange er produktionen nu vokset, til en stadig beskeden produktion på ca. 450 kasser.
Filosofien er; begrænset produktion af enkeltmarksvine af enorm høj kvalitet, fra de allerbedste parceller. Druerne kommer udelukkende fra legendariske vinmarker, som må anses for nogle af de bedste. Dette, samt den lave produktion, taget i betragtning, er prisen usædvanlig fair. A true bargain!
Producentens beskrivelse af Sonoma Coast | Rodgers Creek Vineyard
Rodgers Creek Vineyard is a 300-acre ranch (83.5 acres planted) sitting as a crown jewel on the very eastern edge of the Petaluma Gap. Planted in 2001, the vines have an east-west orientation, allowing the canopy to protect the fruit from steady winds on the hill. The site is about 600 feet above sea level and is so uniquely located that the steep, terraced blocks get plenty of afternoon sun and wind. Constant wind and fog from the east meet temperate weather from the Bay, providing us with later ripening Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The yields from this mountain site are just around 2.5 tons per acre. The views from the vineyard are incredible, a clear day reveals 180 degrees views from Napa to San Francisco, Marin, and Petaluma. We have been sourcing Chardonnay from Rodgers Creek Vineyard since 2017 and Pinot Noir since 2020.
