Buchli Station Carneros, Napa Valley | 68 acres Napa Green/Fish Friendly Farming Certified Our Buchli Station Vineyard is one of the primary sources for our Carneros Chardonnay, consistently producing what Winemaker Richie Allen describes as the “mother” wines for this blend. Buchli Station sits near San Pablo Bay, and though the temperatures are relatively moderate, the windy climate means we work hard to manage the vines’ canopies. If we don’t tuck the shoots carefully into the trellis wires, they’re likely to snap off!
