TASTING PROFILE

"The 2019 Croze Chardonnay is a clean, focused style which brings to mind baked apples in a savory homemade crust. There are cascades of brown spices and Honey Crisp apple. This is a standout Napa Chardonnay in a sea of the usual oaky, buttery style. This darling is all about the purity of the fruit and the subtleties of a confident wine." Gabrielle Shaffer - Sommelier

Vineyard Notes

Grapes for our 2019 CROZE Chardonnay came from Simone Vineyard, a ten acre parcel In Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District, which yields 20 - 25 tons of fruit.

Production Notes

The juice was barrel fermented and then aged In French oak for 11 months. This wine was fermented sur lie, no malo-lactic inoculation (ML).

Winemaker Notes

This style of Old-World winemaking allows for rich complexity but maintains the vibrant acidity of the wine.
