Blanc de Blancs

Our Blanc de Blancs is sourced from a block of Old Wente clone Chardonnay three weeks before our still Chardonnays. We harvest the fruit early in the morning when the berries are cold and take it directly to our press to use only the free-run juice. The juice is fermented on the lees for eight months in neutral French oak and is later transferred to bottle for another 49 months to complete its secondary fermentation. To finish the wine, we use an extremely low dosage to create an extra Brut sparkling wine with great vibrancy and finesse.

Donum Vineyard

Spanning nearly 200 acres, the Donum Vineyard is home to our oldest plantings, the Donum Home, our state-of-the-art production facility, and our renowned art collection, The Donum Collection. Nestled in the rolling hills that rise from the San Pablo Bay, the vineyard is divided into more than 25 distinct blocks and sub-blocks, each showcasing a diverse array of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay clones—including a proprietary Donum clone and heirloom selections. Planted between 1990 and 2022, these estate vines are meticulously farmed by Donum’s dedicated winemaking and vineyard teams.
