Chardonnay

2015 Los Carneros Chardonnay

The Girard Chardonnay from the Los Carneros region is a magnificent expression of this beloved varietal, showcasing a delightful balance of richness and elegance. This full-bodied white wine features a bright acidity that enlivens the palate, creating a refreshing experience while still embracing the lush and mouthwatering fruit characteristics of ripe apples and pears complemented by hints of citrus. The creamy texture, a result of partial malolactic fermentation, adds depth and complexity, making this wine irresistibly food-friendly. With a subtle oak influence beautifully integrated, the finish is both long and satisfying, inviting the taster to savor every moment. The 2015 vintage exemplifies the quality and finesse that Los Carneros is known for, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.

Region:

Napa County

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.
