Description
Chardonay is the first cria born to Castle Rock Alpacas and has a special place in our hearts. She has "the look" with great conformation to boot. Chardonay's fiber has a low micron with crimpy long fleece. Her sire is Snowmass Gold Crest who was a Reserve Champion at the Santa Fe Show and 1st in fleece and Get of Sire for Snowmass Legacy Gold. Snowmass Goldcrest was also 1st and Champion at the PNAA Show in 2003.
Chardonay's service sire for 2009 was Avalon's Peruvian Satin Charlagmagne. Two years in a row, Charlemagne captured First place and Color Champion at the Great Midwest Alpaca Fest. During her comments, Judge Kristin Buhrmann praised Charlemagne's exceptional fiber and striking presence!
Charlagmagne's dam Avalon's Peruvian Satin Chardonnay, was named the Produce of Dam at the Great Midwest Alpaca Fest. Winning runs in the family.
Chardonay had her first cria on 9/12/2010. She had a beautiful white girl we named Amelia of Charlemagne. She has corkscrew crimp to die for!
Chardonay's service sire for 2010 is Sunny Mesas Tuscon Gold from Bella Vita Ranch. He is a multiple blue ribbon winner whose progeny are making their marks in the show ring. We are very excited with this breeding and...we have a handsome boy born 9/8/2011. He has that Tuscan look and feel with blinding brightness. We named him Tuscany Sand.
