From The Winery

The 1772 Chardonnay is Tolosa’s classic Chardonnay, as it captures the essence of our estate vineyard, Edna Ranch.  In 2018, the fall weather was mild yet consistent, which allowed us to take our time harvesting the grapes to make sure they were picked at preferred ripeness.  This vintage was showing an attractive acidity, so we cut back on new oak to harmonize all components of the Chardonnay. The cooler vintage shines in this wine showcasing the fresh fruit, tension and minerality of Edna Valley.
