Turner Road
Chardonnay
Named after the Turner Road Winery, based in the Lodi region, California
USA, California, Lodi, Turner Road, Turner Road Vintners, Chardonnay, 2013
Introduction
The winery embraces the philosophy of working in harmony with nature to produce beautiful wines. Lodi, just south of Sacramento, creates wonderful wines, with old-vine Zinfandel being the biggest contender. The winery produces a number of interesting wines and is surrounded by known Lodi wine makers, such as Woodbridge by Mondavi and Jessie’s Grove.
Turner Road Vintners goes the extra mile towards environmental consequences of wine making. It works hard to provide wetlands habitat for the benefit of local wildlife. The wetlands restoration efforts, which include the installation of process water ponds, improve water quality and reduce water use.
