Captivate Chardonnay
Bill's focus on new world Chardonnay, Captivate is a modern taste combination.
An attractive new world-style wine combining Chardonnay's freshness and versatility with the enticing aromatics of Viognier, complimented with just a touch of Semillon to give the illusion of something sweet.
This wine reveals Bill Williamson's unique taste experience in the art of blending.
Chardonnay from the Chantilly Chardonnay vineyard of the Home Ranch Estate is predominant in the blend with small amounts of Viognier and Semillon utilized as silent partners to provide a delicious quaffing white wine with an approachable, food-friendly style.

Our 50-year old Home Ranch Vineyard II is planted to Clone 4, California's most famous Chardonnay clone, responsible for many fine wines.
Located on approximately 50 acres along the banks of Dry Creek the soil is primarily sandy loam over clay and gravel.
Deep, well drained and fertile, this soil produces abundant crops of high quality grapes displaying complexity within desired varietal qualities.
Across the estate ranch we enjoy three micro-climates and so the ranch supports multiple grape varieties together with several hundred Tuscan olive trees.
