Planted in 2008 at an average elevation of 500 feet, El Diablo Vineyard is known for its tightly spaced vines, which compete for nutrients, resulting in reduced yields with exceptional quality. This unique growing environment contributes to the vineyard’s distinctive character and the wine’s remarkable depth.

Our 2022 El Diablo was 100% whole cluster direct-pressed and fermented exclusively in barrel, adding a unique complexity and depth to the wine. It was aged for 12 months in oak, followed by an additional six months in stainless steel, resulting in a Chardonnay with beautiful vibrancy and refined structure.

Leading with flinty minerality, aromas of Meyer lemon blossom, apricot, and golden delicious apple entice the senses. On the palate, a harmonious blend of citrus and stone fruit is complemented by subtle hints of honey, brioche, and a touch of mint. Bright acidity creates an expressive, balanced wine that culminates in a crisp yet extended finish.
