Estate

Chardonnay

The Estate Chardonnay is composed of fruit from multiple blocks across the Hudson Estate, all planted to 100 percent Heritage Old Wente selections. First produced at Hudson in 2004 as the estate’s inaugural wine, and crafted by John Kongsgaard, it established the house style that continues to define Hudson Chardonnay today. Known for its elegance and balance, this wine has played a central role in building Hudson’s reputation for Chardonnay and is poured at some of the world’s most respected restaurants, including Michelin-starred dining rooms, as a true expression of the estate and its philosophy.
