Eschol by Trefethen Chardonnay Napa Valley
California , United States
| Type: | Still White Wine |
| Varietals: | Chardonnay |
| Region: | California , Napa Valley |
| Climate: | The winter leading up to the growing season brought over 40” of rain, which was above average and a welcome change from the preceding drier years. Cool to moderate temperatures delayed budbreak and bloom by approximately two weeks and persisted as the growing season progressed. The vines grew at a leisurely pace, which allowed us to precisely time all our viticultural activities. Throughout harvest, the grapes had the opportunity to fully ripen with lower sugar and higher acidity, producing deep and bright wines of exceptional quality, reminiscent of classic heralded Napa vintages. |
| ABV | 13% | Size | 750ml |
ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Eshcol rounds out the Trefethen portfolio as an approachable introduction to the estate's sustainably grown wines, crafted for those seeking real Napa Valley quality without the price tag of the flagship bottlings.
The wine opens with bright citrus, honeysuckle, and jasmine, unfolding into lemon, tangerine, and orange blossom with a clean, balanced finish. It pairs effortlessly with shellfish, Winery Chef Chris Kennedy recommends a crab salad sandwich or crab cakes with citrus aioli to match its fresh, lively character.
