AboutChamisal Vineyards
Chamisal Vineyards planted its Edna Valley vineyard in 1973. The 82-acre estate lies just outside San Luis Obispo, five miles from the Pacific, with three distinct soil types and a focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Cool maritime conditions stretch the growing season, allowing flavour to develop while preserving freshness.
In 2008, Chamisal introduced an unoaked Chardonnay made in stainless steel. SIP certification followed for the vineyard in 2010 and the winery in 2016. Herbicides have been eliminated, cover crops are planted, and the winery recycles process water and uses solar power.
