When it comes to our Josephine Chardonnay, only the very best will do. Our 2023, named after Napa's first woman vintner, Josephine Tychson- and this wine does her justice. It embodies the true essence of craftsmanship and elegance. Produced biodynamically (holistic ecosystem, enhancing soil health and vine vitality) from a tiny, rocky hillside block of volcanic soils, with stony loam and a hard clay bedrock, we have achieved the epitome of the fascinating chardonnay varietal. Fermented in barrel, we were able to capture both the vitality of the land and the artistry of precision winemaking.

In the glass, Josephine reveals a glistening golden hue with brilliant clarity, catching the light with an almost ethereal radiance. The nose is beautifully floral and lifted, offering an aromatic bouquet of acacia blossom and orange blossom, layered with hints of wild herbs and delicate citrus oil. The palate is full-bodied yet graceful, offering richness without heavy weight. It opens with vibrant, sun-ripened stone fruits—peach, apricot, and nectarine—delivering both generosity and precision. The fruit profile is polished and focused, showing excellent purity and detail. A supple texture glides across the mid-palate, balanced by refreshing acidity and a refined structure that supports the wine’s depth without overwhelming The finish is smooth, mellow, and uplifting, with a lingering sense of freshness. A subtle saline note adds a compelling, mouthwatering quality, enhancing its minerality and drawing you back for another sip.
