The entire portfolio of Benziger wine is certified sustainable, organic or Biodynamic. Not because they want to be known as "the green winery," but because they know that great wine comes from grapes that have been grown in that way. In their pursuit of fine wine, they follow agricultural, winemaking and business practices that are good for the earth and the vine, good for the farm worker and the farmer.
Winemaker's Notes:
Our Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay is a rich, luscious wine with a lovely mouth feel. In this vintage, there are bright tropical flavors of pineapple, pear, and peach with a slight hint of vanilla from oak barrel aging.

Intense and vibrant, with spicy citrus, mineral and flinty green apple flavors that are pure, focused and juicy, ending with a cleansing finish. Drink now. 14,000 cases made. –JL
