Norton Ridge wines are produced with a clear goal: to make straight-forward, food-friendly wines. This goal is attained through a process that begins in the vineyard, where high-quality grapes provide a base for the wine. The grapes chosen for these wines are from select vineyard sites in Sonoma and Napa counties. The winemaking style on this Chardonnay is one of little intervention. No oak is used, allowing the fruit and varietal characteristics of the wines to shine through. This is a clean, bright wine that pairs well with a wide variety of foods.
