Welcome to Talley Vineyards

Single Vineyard Selection Chardonnays

April marks the release of our 2016 Single Vineyard Selection Chardonnays.  These wines are special both because they are representative of our 30th Anniversary vintage and because 2016 might just be the greatest vintage we’ve ever produced.  After four years of severe drought, El Niño conditions brought the most rainfall to the San Luis Obispo Coast region since 2011.  Though spring was cool and windy, temperatures throughout the rest of the season were moderate, especially during the critical summer months when veraison and ripening occurred.  The absence of severe heat for any extended period during the harvest season meant we harvested the grapes at a moderate pace at optimal ripeness.  Yields in the vineyard were consistent with five year averages and the resulting wines reflect the concentration, balance and elegance that is the hallmark of the confluence of a perfect growing season and a wine growing approach committed to capturing all the potential of our vineyards. 
As much as we enjoyed producing these delicious wines, it brings even more pleasure to share them with you.
