About This Wine

Grgich Hills Estate

Chardonnay

Chardonnay grapes from the southern AVAs of Napa Valley benefit from the cooler maritime air coming in from nearby San Pablo Bay. This cooler air helps balance the heat and full sunshine during the growing season and allows the grapes to ripen slowly. Slow ripening allows the Chardonnay grape to develop intricate flavors while maintaining bright, fresh acidity. Certified organic and sustainably farmed without the use of pesticides or herbicides.

Wine Region

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.

  • A figure representing the Peach tasting note. Peach

This Chardonnay presents bright tropical aromas of pineapple, green mango, and peach with hints of dried herbs and vanilla. The light touch of citrus and lemon zest leads into a lush mid-palate with balanced acidity and a long, complex finish.
