More about the 2023 TALLEY VINEYARDS ROSEMARY'S ARROYO GRANDE VALLEY CHARDONNAY: From the storied Rosemary's Vineyard, Talley's 2023 Chardonnay arrives with two 96-point scores and the authority of a site few in California can rival. Farmed by the Talley family for generations, this vineyard earned international acclaim when an earlier vintage placed second at the Judgment of Paris 30th Anniversary tasting, standing confidently alongside the finest white Burgundies. Set just miles from the Pacific, Rosemary's Vineyard is shaped by maritime influence and complex geology. Cool ocean breezes extend the growing season, preserving acidity and sharpening aromatic detail. The result is a Chardonnay driven not by weight, but by tension. Precision carries seamlessly into the cellar. Full malolactic fermentation and fourteen months of aging sur lie lend texture and depth, while measured oak provides structure without overshadowing the fruit. What emerges is a Chardonnay of remarkable composure: layered, energetic, and complete, offering immediate appeal with the structure to evolve.
