Vineyards & Winemaking This is the first vintage of Roth Chardonnay sourced from Wobken Vineyard in the Los Carneros AVA. Los Carneros is located between Sonoma and Napa counties and runs along the base of Mayacamas mountains. It’s characterized by its cool climate from the nearby Pacific Ocean making the region well-suited for cool-climate varietals such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay from this AVA is known for its good acidity and balance. After harvest, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed and transferred to tank where the wine was then fermented with native yeast and racked to French, Hungarian and American oak barrels. After 16 months in barrel (30% new) with regular lees stirring, the wine was bottled.
