Napa Valley

Natural Cork

White

Waters, Stagecoach, Antica, and Hyde are all sources for this Chardonnay, fermented in barrel and aged for 10 months in 90% new French oak, mostly François Frères heavy toast. Always a crowd-pleaser, and no exception in 2023—a cool vintage that allowed for extended hang time without rapid Brix jumps or premature evolution, achieving perfect ripeness with depth and intensity of flavour and aroma. The acid tension is off the charts, shining through in this blend by Katie Vogt. A bright, fresh, and rich Chardonnay with layers of elegant citrus, refined stone and orchard fruit, leading into flamed pineapple, tangerine peel, and expressive ginger. A melted, warm honeyed texture builds, underpinned by firm tension that carries the long finish of tasty brioche and more candied ginger character.
