The Flowers family are true pioneers in Sonoma Coast. Theirs were among the first vineyards planted at the edge of the Sonoma Coast in 1991, just three kilometres from the rugged Pacific Ocean cliffs, at elevations of over 350 metres. This, Flowers's entry-level Chardonnay, is fermented and matured in French oak barrels and perfectly expresses the elegance, precision and quality that has come to define the house style. |
