The Tribe 2024 Chardonnay

The Wine

This fine-tuned Chardonnay was sourced exclusively from grapes grown at the Mettler Family Vineyard in Lodi, California. The grapes were harvested and whole-cluster pressed. The wine was barrel-fermented with native yeast in neutral French oak and remained in barrels for 4 months prior to bottling.

The Tribe® Chardonnay 2023 is blessed with crisp acidity that gives structure to a core of lush-textured citrus, apple, pear and quince flavors. It finishes with a clean, mineral edge.

The Winery

In 2003, Covenant founders Jeff Morgan and Leslie Rudd were inspired to bring a new California perspective to a 3500-year-old winemaking tradition. What started as a 500-case Napa Cabernet Sauvignon project has now grown more than ten-fold. Today, Covenant’s 9,000-square-foot urban Northern California winery is situated in Berkeley, California.

The winery got its start in Napa Valley but now located in the urban “Drinks District” of Berkeley, California. The 9,000-square foot winery is situated in a neighborhood that is also home to other urban wineries and breweries. From the start, Covenant was critically acclaimed by such reviewers as Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator.
