2019 Maroon Chardonnay, Napa Valley

Maroon
2019 Chardonnay
, Napa Valley
Oak Knoll District

Opens with notes of tropical fruit, which complement the aromas of fig, peach, pear, yellow apple and hints of butterscotch and oak.  The palate is rich with the fruit shining through while maintaining balance and vibrancy.  Lush yet focused acidity, balanced with plenty of ripe fruit.  This is a beautiful wine, and you are unlikely to see a better bargain for single-vineyard Chardonnay from the Napa Valley.

Vineyard
This Chardonnay is sourced from a single vineyard in the Oak Knoll AVA, a sub-appellation in the southern end of Napa Valley is ideally situated for growing Chardonnay.  The warm days promote the ripeness and lush aromas and flavors in the grapes. The afternoon breezes from the San Pablo Bay and cool nights help preserve the natural acidity in the juice.

Winemaking
Hand-harvested, crushed and then the juice soaks on the skins for 6 hours prior to pressing, which helps extract important aroma components from the skins. 25% of this wine was fermented in new oak barrels, which contribute a minimal level of oak characteristics, and allows the natural fruit to shine through. The wine was then aged in the same barrels for 12 months prior to bottling.
