Chardonnay Napa Valley 2017 - Robert Mondavi

The grapes for Robert Mondavi's Chardonnay Napa Valley grow in the sunny wine-growing region of California. This pure white wine delights with lively freshness and smooth texture.

This wine shines in a clear straw yellow with light golden reflections. Intense, temptingly fruity aromas characterise the bouquet: crunchy apple, juicy pear, ripe melon and fresh quince - underpinned by white flowers, a hint of vanilla and some nutmeg. The aromas of the bouquet blend seamlessly into the palate, creating a round, lush, creamy mouthfeel perfectly balanced by a crisp acidity. The elegant finish completes this American white wine perfectly.

Vinification of the Mondavi Napa Valley Chardonnay

Throughout September, the Chardonnay grapes for this white wine are harvested in the early morning hours. Once in the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed. This wine is vinified and matured both in stainless steel tanks (20%) and in French oak barrels (80%). With regular bâtonnage (the stirring of the yeast) this wine matures for 8 months on the fine yeast.
