Chardonnay Napa Valley
California , United States
| Type: | Still White Wine |
| Varietals: | Chardonnay |
| Region: | California , Napa Valley |
| Climate: | The 2024 growing season brought just under 28 inches of rainfall, slightly below our 50-year average but the timing couldn’t have been better. Steady, well-spaced rains throughout winter and spring set the stage for a healthy start to the season. Budbreak arrived by mid-March, and stable conditions through bloom led to a balanced fruit set across all varieties. A warm spell in August helped concentrate flavors in our white wines and kicked off harvest roughly two weeks earlier than the previous year. From there, the weather remained steady and cooperative, with one final burst of heat signaling the close of the season. |

ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
The Trefethen family's dedication runs through every bottle, from sustainable farming in the vineyard to thoughtful winemaking in the cellar to gracious hospitality at the table. This Chardonnay reflects that care, along with a 2024 vintage that came together with excellent timing: steady, well-spaced rains through winter and spring, a healthy budbreak in mid-March, and a warm August that concentrated flavors and brought an earlier, cooperative harvest.
The wine offers lemon and orange blossom aromas with a creamy, mineral edged palate and bright acidity. It pairs beautifully with delicate, herb driven dishes, Winery Chef Chris Kennedy recommends herb poached white fish or basil crusted salmon to complement its citrus and mineral character.
