Rodney Strong Chardonnay

Our story at rodney strong vineyards we focus on modern artisan winemaking exclusively from sonoma county california. Our family-owned winery is committed to quality wines and to protecting our resources for the future. We are solar powered certified sustainable practice fish friendly farming and sonoma county’s first carbon neutral winery. History nearly four decades ago we discovered that the west and southwestern regions of sonoma county are ideal for growing chardonnay grapes. The cool maritime infl uence of the pacifi c ocean arriving reliably in the form of fog each summer evening maintains the bright natural acidity that is key to the balance of any fi ne chardonnay while the warm summer afternoons ensure plenty of ripe fruit character. A combination of estate grown and locally farmed fruit we source the benchland and alluvial soils from vineyards in the russian river dry creek and sonoma coast appellations to make this wine.
