Talley Vineyards
Talley Vineyards operates in the Arroyo Grande Valley, a cool-climate pocket of San Luis Obispo County on California's Central Coast. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship wines: Rincon Vineyard Grenache, Rosemary's Vineyard Chardonnay, and Rosemary's Vineyard Pinot Noir. The Grenache, sourced from Rincon Vineyard, has earned particular recognition from prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Advocate. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Rosemary's Vineyard reflect the region's maritime influence—cool nights and morning fog that extend the growing season and preserve acidity. Grenache thrives in these conditions, developing complexity and balance. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, both hallmarks of Central Coast viticulture, benefit from the valley's moderate temperatures and diurnal variation. The winery's focus on single-vineyard expressions underscores terroir-driven winemaking in one of California's most dynamic coastal regions.
