OUR WINES
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the mainstays of the Dutton-Goldfield
production. Using fruit from carefully chosen vineyards, Dan
produces wine that reflects the natural tendencies of the area:
crisp, well-structured wines that display the complexity, balance
and intensity that the partners believe are key to world-class
wines.
Dutton-Goldfield Winery's first releases were a Dutton Ranch
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the 1998 vintage. Today Dan and
Steve continue to produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Dutton
Ranch plantings, numerous vineyard-designated wines, as well
as small lots of old vine Zinfandel and hillside Syrah. The
Dutton-Goldfield wines are crafted using traditional techniques
such as barrel and malolactic fermentation for the Chardonnay,
and open top fermentation for the Pinot Noir.
The winery is a partnership of friends, colleagues, neighbors
and families. The wines reflect this spectacular part of Northern
California where the grapes are grown, the superb quality of
fruit from perfectly placed and planted vineyards, and the work
of an appreciative winemaker. |
