Brewer-Clifton 2011 Chardonnay, Gnesa Vineyard Video Tasting Notes by Steve Clifton

Vineyard Notes: Brewer-Clifton began working with this four-acre “secret spot” vineyard in 2007 when the majority of the fruit was destined for their Sta. Rita Hills bottling. The vineyard was originally planted in 1996 with self-rooted chardonnay, clone 4, by the Gnesa (pronounced knee-sa) family who farmed with tremendous care and attention through the 2008 harvest.

They entrusted Brewer-Clifton with the management of the vineyard starting in 2009. From that vintage they are able to offer a single-vintage bottling and continue to integrate the fruit into their appellation bottling.
