Savoy Vineyard

Savoy Vineyard Chardonnay

Our Savoy Chardonnay is sourced from a small block of Chardonnay planted in the mid-1990s at our historic Savoy Vineyard in Anderson Valley. First released with the 2023 vintage, this wine offers a distinctive expression of Chardonnay from a site renowned for exceptional Pinot Noir. Anderson Valley's cool climate lends the wine its characteristic freshness and savory character.

Savoy Vineyard

In 2023, Donum acquired the iconic 52-acre Savoy Vineyard, a historic site planted in 1991 by Richard Savoy in the heart of Anderson Valley near the confluence of Gowan Creek and the Navarro River. Known for its cool climate, high winds and exceptional soil, Savoy is home to over 40 acres of established Pinot Noir and a small block of Chardonnay, with vines dating back to the mid-1990s. This acquisition marked Donum’s first established vineyard purchase and a significant milestone in expanding its estate portfolio. With the 2023 vintage, Donum introduced its first Savoy wines.
