Gundlach Bundschu is one of California's oldest continuously family-owned wineries, founded in 1858 and farming the same Rhinefarm estate vineyard at the crossroads of Sonoma Valley and Carneros for six generations. Today the estate is Regenerative Organic Certified®, a commitment that goes beyond conventional organic farming to encompass soil health, ecosystem restoration and long-term land stewardship. The Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is sourced from cool-climate vineyards along the Pacific-influenced Sonoma Coast AVA, where marine fog and ocean breezes extend the growing season and preserve the natural acidity and freshness that define the appellation's best whites.
The 2024 is vinified to balance the variety's natural richness with the bright, mineral-driven character of the Sonoma Coast. The nose opens with crisp green apple, Meyer lemon and ripe pear, accented by chalky minerality, honey and a whisper of spice. The palate is lively and well structured, with flavors of nectarine, preserved lemon peel, pineapple sage and citrus blossom, carried by bright acidity and a subtle touch of oak through a clean, lingering finish.
Serve at 50–54°F. Pairs beautifully with chicken piccata, roasted squash, grilled fish, shellfish, light pasta with cream or herb sauces and fresh cheeses.

Expert Review — Vintages 2023, 2022, 2021
92 pts — James Suckling: “Aromas of salty limes, lemon curd, white peaches, magnolia blossoms and wet stones. The palate is fresh and flinty, with citrus and mango flavors. A pleasant creaminess in the middle. Medium-bodied. From organically grown grapes.” (Vintage 2023).
Tasting Panel 94 Points | Skillfully grown and wrought in the cellar, this exemplary wine tastes like special- occasion Chardonnay for a surprisingly approachable price. It shows all the bells and whistles of a high-end rendition, with subtle accents of spices, smoke, and vanilla surrounding a core of creamy fruit edged by citrus. (Vintage 2022).
92 Points Wine Enthusiast | Brilliant in apples, vanilla, butter and pineapples, this full-bodied and silkytextured wine grabs attention with its sunny aromas. It follows up with a generous palate of fruits, mild spices and a melted texture that’s so easy to sip. (Vintage 2021).
