Rombauer Vineyard

Rombauer Vineyard is a California winery established in the Carneros appellation, which straddles the southern portions of both Napa and Sonoma counties. The winery focuses primarily on Chardonnay production, drawing from vineyards in this cool-climate region known for its morning fog and extended growing season.

Carneros is recognized as one of California's premier regions for Chardonnay, where the combination of clay soils, cooling marine influences from San Pablo Bay, and significant diurnal temperature variation creates ideal conditions for producing rich, well-structured white wines. The appellation's moderate climate allows for extended hang time, enabling grapes to develop complexity while retaining natural acidity.

The winery's current range demonstrates their specialization in Carneros Chardonnay, including both their standard bottling and a Proprietor Selection. These wines typically showcase the region's ability to produce Chardonnays with both richness and balance, reflecting the unique terroir of this transitional zone between Napa and Sonoma valleys.
