Kongsgaard Chardonnay 2023 continues the winery's Napa Valley Chardonnay line first released in 1996, sourced primarily from long-standing Carneros growers Lee Hudson and Larry Hyde, with fruit from a Coombsville vineyard added from 2020 onward. The winery describes the 2023 bottling as defined by tension, mineral energy and opulence, honouring its Burgundian antecedents.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: A mineral, orchard-fruit-driven profile with breadth shaped more by tension than overt sweetness.
- Palate: Opulent yet energetic, balancing California richness with the tension and mineral line highlighted by the winery's vintage note.
- Finish: Long, mouthfilling and focused, carrying both richness and freshness through the close.
Best For
Serious Napa Chardonnay buyers, richer seafood or poultry pairings and collectors who follow producer-led California Chardonnay rather than generic category bottlings.
