2022 · Chardonnay 'Escolle Vineyard'

Russell Joyce is a boutique Monterey County winery rooted in a family vineyard planted by his father, Francis Joyce, in 1986. Owner and self-taught winemaker Russell Joyce works with his wife, Charlotte, and remains the sole listed winemaker. The estate has expanded beyond its original vineyard with additional organic acreage, while also sourcing fruit from nearby family-owned vineyards. Sustainable, organic farming and a sustainability-focused business model are central to the operation. In 2020, the family acquired the former Ventana Winery in Soledad and revitalized it as Joyce Winery, maintaining a small-scale, hands-on approach.
