Robert Mondavi Estate Carneros Chardonnay 2022
The Estates Tier highlights wines sourced from a collection of vineyards in select appellations within Napa Valley deemed by Robert Mondavi's winemakers to be among the very best. The grapes for the Carneros Chardonnay were grown on the foggy, wind-swept slopes of the region. The cool nights, foggy mornings, and afternoon breezes that blow in from San Pablo Bay allow for the slow, even ripening needed for the development of key flavours and aromas.

VINEYARD SOURCING: The fruit for our 2022 Carneros Chardonnay came from two spectacular sites on the Napa side of Carneros AVA, one of which offers bright acidity and minerality, and the other a rich stone fruit density.
VINTAGE NOTES: The 2022 vintage was mild, dry, and very pleasant through August. Temperatures surged for a week in August. Our grape growing and winemaking teams worked nonstop to keep the vines healthy and happy until temperatures cooled. In spite of a few hot bumps in the road, this year’s wines are shaping up to be gorgeous indeed. The fruit for this Chardonnay was hand harvested between September 6 and 8. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation, during which each lot was evaluated individually and its fermentation stopped at optimal texture. The wine aged sur lies for eight months in French oak to add a subtle, toasty character.
AROMAS Fresh peach, Golden Delicious apple, citrus blossom, almond, and subtle toast
FLAVORS Tart stone fruit, lemon zest, almond paste, hazelnut, and a minerality
BODY Juicy, fresh, and elegant with a pleasing viscosity and a good length
COMPOSITION 100% Chardonnay
