Variety: Chardonnay
"KARIA comes from a tapestry of vineyards in and south of the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. The foundation for this blend is the ARCADIA VINEYARD in the Coombsville AVA in southern Napa Valley and Danika Ranch, our estate vineyard in the Oak Knoll District.
ARCADIA VINEYARD brings perfume and delicate fruit characters while Danika Ranch provides bright, juicy apple and pear personality to the blend. The Carneros fruit contributes citrus and mineral notes. The fruit was picked early in the morning to keep it cool and then was whole cluster pressed to preserve the freshness. Oak and malolactic fermentation were used in moderation to accent, rather than overwhelm, the fruit.
This graceful Chardonnay opens with aromas of pear and apple along with a subtle spice note. The wine has a soft entry and crisp finish with hints of vanilla. There is a nice balance to the acidity and minerality that enhances the freshness and elegance of this wine."
