The property was purchased by Burgundian Jean- Claude Boisset in 2003. His son, Jean-Charles Boisset, saw the similarities of the Russian River Valley with his native Burgundy and the potential that the region held for producing fine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of his first decisions having acquired the estate was to convert the seven hectares of vineyard surrounding the winery to biodynamic farming. Head winemaker Brian Maloney has worked at De Loach since 2003 and has proved instrumental in evolving De Loach by continuing to explore different soils across the Russian River Valley and focusing on high-quality, small-lot winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDE LOACH VINEYARDS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"The official website of De Loach Vineyards, Sonoma County\" href=\"https:\/\/deloachvineyards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Like De Loach Vineyards on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deloachvineyards\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Follow De Loach Vineyards on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeLoachVineyard\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"de-loach-russian-river-chardonnay","title":"De Loach Russian River Chardonnay 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eFruit for the De Loach Vineyards Russian River Chardonnay is sourced predominantly from three sites in the heart of the valley including the Boriolo and BCD vineyards, as well as the Norris vineyard in the Chalk Hill region. The cool, foggy Russian River Valley climate allows for slow ripening, ideal for Chardonnay to develop full flavour maturation. The juice was fermented and underwent 100% malolactic conversion in a combination of stainless steel tanks, concrete vats and French oak barrels. The wine was then aged for 10 months. These techniques contributed to a well-balanced wine with bright acidity and a rich, round mouthfeel. The De Loach Russian River Chardonnay is pale straw yellow in colour with rich aromas of lime, white peach and baked apple pie. On the palate, flavours of nutmeg and a touch of caramel frame the vibrant acidity.

The team at De Loach practise sustainable viticulture and have a light touch in the winery to ensure the wine stays true to its origin. At the winery, fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks in order to retain the Chardonnay grapes’ fresh primary fruit aromas and then a small proportion of barrel-fermented Chardonnay was added to the final blend, lending some aromatic complexity and a richer mouthfeel. The final wine displays vibrant aromas of honeysuckle, citrus fruit, and ripe white peach on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy acidity and creamy mouthfeel.
