Durant Vineyard
Long-respected, and family-farmed
A long-respected, family-farmed site, Durant yields Chardonnay of purity and lift, coupling bright acidity with fine orchard-fruit and citrus detail.
Meticulous viticulture and thoughtful canopy management deliver the composure and mineral through line that define Porcelina's style. It is the northernmost of our four sites, in the heart of the Dundee Hills.
