Barrell Fermented

2006 Napa Valley Chardonnay

The Global Wine Co Barrel Fermented Chardonnay from the 2006 vintage showcases the exquisite qualities that Napa Valley is renowned for. This white wine presents a medium to full-bodied character that wraps around the palate with a lush creaminess. The balanced acidity offers a refreshing brightness that dances alongside the vibrant flavors of ripe stone fruit, notes of crisp apple, and a hint of citrus zest. Subtle oak aging contributes a layer of complexity, enhancing the wine's profile with gentle toasty nuances and a touch of vanilla, while maintaining a delightful fruit-forward intensity. The overall experience is rounded out by a dryness that invites another sip, making this Chardonnay a truly food-friendly choice, perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
