If California had a vineyard classification system, Hudson would without doubt be among those to class as a Grand Cru: their wines epitomise classic Californian Chardonnay at its best, lushness and opulence matched by exceptional balance. Alongside supplying grapes to some of the most prestigious wineries in California, including Kistler, Aubert and Kongsgaard, Hudson produces an exceptional range of wines, with Chardonnay as their undisputed speciality.

Perhaps the epitome of Hudson's Chardonnays, Seashell is intensely concentrated and rich yet at the same time taut, saline and with bright acidity. A real Grand Cru of northern California.

100/100 - The 2023 Seashell Chardonnay bursts with bold notes of green guava, pink grapefruit, and passion fruit, giving way to hints of lemongrass, almond croissant, lime zest, and mandarin peel. The medium to full-bodied palate is super-intense with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit layers, supported by amazing tension and a satiny texture, finishing very long and layered. Magnificent! - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Palate

Planted in 2004, the Seashell vineyard is located on the northeastern portion of the ranch at the base of a 600-foot vertical wall of the Carneros escarpment, protecting the vines from the harsh western afternoon sun. It is named after its deep, dry-farmed sandy loam soil with inclusions of Neroly Sandstone containing seashell fossils.

Whole-cluster pressed, fermented with native yeasts in French oak barrels (85% new) and bottled unfined and unfiltered after 22 months.
