Chalk Hill, a sub-appellation of the American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in the northern part of Sonoma County, California, is renowned for its unique soils and exceptional climate. This AVA gets its name from the distinctive chalky hills that characterize the landscape and influence the region's terroir. The volcanic soil, coupled with excellent drainage and optimal sun exposure, creates ideal conditions for viticulture.
Chalk Hill wines are particularly recognized for their elegant and structured Chardonnays, as well as their complex and refined Cabernet Sauvignons. Producers in this region often use modern and innovative viticultural techniques to maximize the quality of their wines.
