Karia

Napa Valley Chardonnay

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Karia is a delightful Chardonnay that showcases the remarkable quality of Napa Valley's winemaking prowess. This wine presents a medium-bodied profile, with a vibrant acidity that provides a refreshing lift, making it wonderfully palatable. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of ripe pear, green apple, and a touch of citrus, harmoniously complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and oak from the aging process. Its dryness invites a crisp, clean finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The Karia Chardonnay is an excellent choice for those seeking a food-friendly white wine to pair with seafood dishes, creamy pastas, or simply enjoy on its own.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
