Kongsgaard Napa Valley Chardonnay

Kongsgaard Napa Valley Chardonnay Wine Details
Price:

Description: Kongsgaard Napa Valley Chardonnay is grown primarily on the shy-bearing Kongsgaard family vineyard described above. This vineyard gives the wine its dense, minerally core and extravagant honeyed aroma. Small amounts of wine made from two distinguished Carneros vineyards, Hudson and Hyde, are included in the blend, bringing stone fruit and citrus high-notes to the wine. Like The Judge, the Napa Valley Chardonnay is allowed to ferment in new French barrels without any human intervention other that the weekly stirring by hand - no yeast, no bacteria, no fining, no filtration. The Kongsgaard barrel fermentation cellar could probably be mistaken for one in Burgundy in the nineteenth century.
