Chalk Hill Estate

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

THE WORLD'S FINEST wines consistently come from great estates and elegantly, and at times boldly, express their unique terroir. At Chalk Hill, we have spent decades exploring our land to identify and understand the specific characteristics of individual sites and blocks. With this intimate knowledge we harmoniously match grape variety with site to achieve wines of the best possible flavor and character. We continue to develop our home's potential and create wines that sing the praises of the estate.
