Product Notes
Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay is a unique wine with a history that spans over four decades. Located in the heart of the Napa Valley, this wine is crafted from grapes grown on the estate's vineyards, which are meticulously cared for to ensure their high quality. The Chardonnay is fermented in French oak barrels and aged on lees, giving it a rich, creamy texture with notes of vanilla, toast, and oak. This wine is known for its balance between fruit and acidity, with flavors of ripe pear, green apple, and lemon zest. The finish is clean and crisp, making it an excellent pairing for seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, Honeysuckle, jasmine, and apple blossom, along with wispy notes of vanilla and lemon balm, highlight a harmony of classic Chardonnay aromas. On the palatae Green apple, candied orange peel, and baking spices anchor a panoply of vineyard flavors. Seamlessly interwoven between each is fresh, bright acidity along with incredible minerality and depth that slowly build texture and weight. For the finish, the contrast between silky toast and sweet pear highlights an exceedingly rich finish that will only become more supple and dynamic with age.
