Matt Naumann and Audra Chapman created Newfound Wines after nearly two decades of managing wine bars, shops, and cellars. The duo farms an array of varieties in some of Cali’s most treasured appellations, creating wines with a ‘less is more’ mindset.
Sourced from the Vendemia Vineyard on the western slope of the Mayacamas range. This is 20 acres of original shot-Wente Chardonnay clone, planted in 1964 and managed organically throughout its life.
Redolent of lemon florals and chalky minerality. Both lively and weighty, ready to drink now but will sit nicely for over a decade in the cellar.
