Hyde de Villaine
De La Guerra Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard Napa Valley
Honoring the Hyde family’s winemaking legacy, we proudly reintroduce the de la Guerra Chardonnay. In the early 1800s, Hyde family patriarch Don Jose de la Guerra y Noriega built Santa Barbara’s Casa de la Guerra while serving as mission Comandante. This adobe house became the city’s cultural hub, where the family hosted fiestas and began making award-winning wines. Our de la Guerra Chardonnay pays tribute to these early California winemaking roots.

Aromas of apple, pear, guava, stone, and citrus blossoms lead to hints of hazelnut and flint. The palate shows lemon curd and pear balanced by baked apple and mineral notes. This medium-weight Chardonnay offers rich texture with fresh acidity and focus. Enjoyable year-round.
