Product Overview
Winery Notes:
"Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards located in Carneros and Coombsville. The Carneros region's combination of a cool maritime climate and well-draining soils creates an ideal environment for cultivating Chardonnay grapes of outstanding quality. Coombsville offers less wind, along with deeper, well-drained gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils. The combination of these spectacular vineyards results in the subtle, tropical flavors, complex aromas and uncommon richness that have long been associated with Far Niente Napa Valley Chardonnay.
Our 2022 Far Niente Chardonnay is richly aromatic with bright notes of citrus, melon, and pear. These same enchanting notes continue onto the palate with a silky entry that slowly builds to a long finish with lingering citrus. Crisp minerality and juicy acidity lift and support the generous fruit and provide the framework for graceful aging."
