Rooted amongst layered tumbled rock of Durell’s iconic Stone Flats Block presents challenges for the vines producing small clusters of the heritage ‘old wente’ clone famously known for concentration and power. Durell intersects uniquely by Sonoma’s three diverse micro-appellations, Sonoma Coast, Carneros, and Sonoma Valley. The variety of microclimates in the hillside coastal regions combined with ancient oceanic history makes this one of the most heralded sites for growing intense Chardonnay in Northern California.
