McManis Family Vineyards Chardonnay

McManis Family Vineyards is a well-regarded family-owned and operated winery located in the Ripon area of California's Northern Interior. This particular Chardonnay is a hallmark of their portfolio, showcasing fruit grown primarily in their own estate vineyards. The McManis family began growing grapes in 1938 and transitioned into winemaking in the late 1990s, emphasizing sustainable practices as highlighted by the 'Certified Green' and 'Lodi Rules' seals visible on the bottle.

Ownership remains entirely within the McManis family, and they manage all stages from viticulture to bottling on-site. Their operations are headquartered in Ripon, California, where the modern winery facility was built in 1998. The brand is recognized for producing premium quality wines with a focus on environmental stewardship and regional character.
