19 Chard

2019 Chardonnay

 Origin: Atlas Peak District, Napa Valley, Antinori Napa Valley Family Estate, five clone block 

Alcohol: 13.7%

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Production: 54 cases

Vineyard: Chardonnay grapes are from the Reserve vineyard, ten acres in size. The vineyard is planted at an elevation of 1420 feet, in the volcanic soil series Aiken Loam. It is planted at a vine density of 1815 vines per acre and divided equally among five distinct Chardonnay clones that contribute to the wine's complexity through the clonal diversity. Clones Dijon 96, Dijon 76 and Weimer Burgundian Selection provide for the complexity in flavors while clones Prosser 15 and Martini 4 provide the natural acidity that brings balance and a mineral character to the wine.

Tasting notes: The riveting aroma of honeysuckle and a bowl of fresh citrus fruit will knock your socks off, wow.  Richly textured and tantalizing on the palate, as crisp Gala apples, lemon meringue pie, warm buttered toast, a hint of tropical fruit, and nutmeg intermesh in harmony. The delectable flavors are framed by brilliant balancing acidity, and the memorable finish is zesty and long.
