Background: Expanding capacity for a growing Chardonnay program Patz & Hall’s highly regarded Chardonnays gain much of their acclaim from the winemaker’s ability to foster the unique expression of the grapes from each small, family-owned partner vineyard. The vineyard crews harvest grapes in the early morning in coastal vineyards from Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley and from Mendocino to Monterey. As trucks arrive with bins, crews sort the grapes and immediately press the whole clusters to preserve the delicate aromatics and full flavors of the Chardonnay fruit. “Juice quality is the first consideration for winemakers in luxury programs,” says Patz & Hall’s winemaker, Tom Klassen. Klassen guides the grapes through pressing and every step after that, ensuring consistency in the winemaking approach that has been refined to highlight each vineyard’s signature qualities. The importance of quality and consistency is why, when the winery deci

For over 100 years, the Willmes name has been synonymous with wine quality. Since 1951, Willmes engineers have mastered the art and science of the pneumatic grape press with the unique combination of double-membrane technology and vertical juice drains for higher juice yields in less time.
