DeBenedetti Vineyard lies within the Russian River Valley AVA, where cool marine air and morning fog drift inland from the Pacific Ocean, creating ideal conditions for Chardonnay. The vineyard’s moderate climate allows for a long, even ripening season, producing fruit with remarkable balance and complexity. At this site, Chardonnay develops bright citrus and orchard fruit aromas layered with subtle minerality and texture. DeBenedetti’s cool microclimate brings out a distinct richness and depth, yielding wines that beautifully reflect the elegance and character of the Russian River Valley.
