The Chalone Estate Vineyard is one of the most remarkable winery properties in California, founded and farmed by a cast of visionaries drawn to this wild, remote place and its potential for great wines since 1919. As the sole commercial winery within the Chalone AVA, our wines express the unique terroir of this high-elevation mountain plateau in Monterey County, adjacent to Pinnacles National Park. Chalone’s acclaimed wines reflect the area’s distinctive granitic and limestone soils and its large diurnal shifts: beautifully balanced with minerality, ripe fruit character, and bright acidity.
