Avalon Chardonnay is crafted with grapes grown in Northern California including the Delta region. Here, the Sacramento and American rivers form an extensive delta located 100 miles east of San Francisco. Chardonnay is the most widely planted grape in the area, which gives the varietal a highly successful advantage. As temperatures rise in the California's interior valley, cool sea breezes are pulled directly through the San Francisco Bay via the Carquinez Strait creating a cooling effect that has allowed exceptional wine grapes to thrive in the region for more than a century.
