Back in 1972, when Monterey County was all but unknown among wine lovers, our founder, winegrowing pioneer Jerry Lohr, planted his first Chardonnay vineyards in the region’s cool, windswept Arroyo Seco appellation. Today, our estate Chardonnay vineyards span more than 1200 acres in the Arroyo Seco and Monterey County has earned global renown for its vibrant and alluring cool-climate Chardonnays.

With 10 different clones of Chardonnay grown throughout different microclimates and a diverse tapestry of vineyard blocks, we are able to craft three wonderful expressions of Chardonnays. While each one offers its own uniquely enticing sense of place, they share much in common, including a “soil-to-bottle” philosophy that begins in our estate vineyards and concludes at our new state-of-the art Greenfield winery, where gifted winemaker Kristen Barnhisel guides our acclaimed white wine program. There, Kristen applies artisan techniques that include 100% barrel fermentation and lees stirring to achieve beautiful textures and richness in our wines.

Our pioneering spirit is the same today as it was back then, as is our goal of letting the quality and terroir of this world-class winegrowing region shine through in every bottle of J. Lohr Chardonnay.
