Antica Estate sits east of Stagecoach in Foss Valley, a hanging valley at the base of Atlas Peak. Routinely, fog settles in the valley, ensuring cool evenings after warm days. An ideal site for growing Chardonnay, Antica has been a longtime part of the Pahlmeyer Chardonnay portfolio. Our two favorite blocks grow Wiemer Clone Chardonnay with beautiful acidity and a subtle streak of tropical notes.
