Reuling Vineyard is located just off Highway 116 between Graton and Forestville. This wine is rich and distinctive. A unique “suitcase” Montrachet clone of Chardonnay takes center stage here, and, when combined with the exceptional 2022 growing conditions, demonstrates balanced acidity and rich, complex flavors in the finished wine. Reuling Vineyard is perched on a small hillside with gentle slopes at an elevation of 250 feet. It benefits from the cool marine influences converging from the coast, yet is exposed to the sun and afternoon heat, allowing the grapes to reach optimal maturity. Its extremely sandy Goldridge soil naturally stresses the vines, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors.

"Another stunning bottle of Chardonnay from the winemaking team of Sojourn, this one the 2022 Reuling
Vineyard. Gifting a light lemon core with a watery rim it boasts a bouquet of white nectarine, green apple,
honeysuckle flowers, wet clay, and sweet spices. Impeccably balanced with gorgeous structure and acidity that carries to a perfected finish with a touch of umami that hits on the back of the palate. Highly recommended." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"Fat and opulent Chardonnay that balances a rich, toasty oak profile with lighter, more balanced stone fruit and baking spice aromas on the nose. This native-fermented Chardonnay is aged in half new barrels, lending some depth and richness to that brighter fruit. Drink this with roasted halibut. " - Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast
