When Rosemary Talley stepped into the family business as a clerical worker at Talley Farms, there were not a lot of women working in agriculture. She quickly worked her way up to the produce sales manager and gained a reputation for her grace and sophistication but with some tenacious negotiation skills, which set her apart in the rough-and-tumble world of farming.

Just like the wine’s namesake, Rosemary’s Chardonnay makes a statement even in its softness. The sophistication and elegance of this wine come with a backbone that provides amazing structure and aging potential. 

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean and surrounding Rosemary Talley’s home, Rosemary’s Vineyard is climatically the coolest vineyard owned and farmed by the Talley Family. The 2023 vintage is energetic and complex with mouthwatering acidity that delivers notes of citrus, oyster shell and graham cracker.
