When Rosemary Talley stepped into the family business as a clerical worker at Talley Farms, there were not a lot of women working in agriculture. She quickly worked her way up to the produce sales manager and gained a reputation for her grace and sophistication but with some tenacious negotiation skills, which set her apart in the rough-and-tumble world of farming.
The Estate Chardonnay is the quintessential expression of Talley Vineyards, representing the cool climate and hillside topography of our home on the San Luis Obispo Coast.
The blend includes Rosemary's Vineyard, overlooking the Pacific and surrounding Rosemary Talley's home; Rincon Vineyard, recognized as a California Grand Cru by Wine Enthusiast Magazine; and Oliver's Vineyard, named after Talley Farms founder, Oliver Talley.
Aromas of Honeycrisp apple, white peach, melon and pine lead to flavors of Granny Smith apple and wet slate that are fresh and bright. The finish is refreshingly juicy.
 2023 Talley Estate Chardonnay
"An unctuous and delicious Chardonnay blended across six of the estate vineyards, but the preponderance of which comes from the top sites, Oliver's and Rosemary's. Airy and bright on the nose with ocean air and lemon verbena. The palate shows sweet, intense Meyer lemon pulp, salted lemon wedge and a brilliant finish of lemon verbena and sea salt."
