Hartford family winery was founded in 1994 by don and jennifer hartford in the heart of the russian river valley, sonoma county. Their dedication to crafting wines that showcase the unique personality of their vineyards is evident in every bottle. Situated in the cool, coastal town of forestville, the winery's commitment to regenerative farming practices, such as composting and conservation tillage, ensures their wines fully express the distinct terroir of the region. Experienced winemaker jeff stewart has spent over 25 years perfecting wines like this chardonnay. It highlights the best of the russian river valley's subregions, with ripe fruit and citrus notes, hints of pear and a touch of crystallised ginger on the finish. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes like salmon or creamy pasta, balancing the flavours with its bright acidity.
