2019 Darioush Signature Chardonnay Napa

The hallmark of Darioush Signature Chardonnay is its progressive style of integrating precision, richness, and complexity. Grown from the winery estate and renowned Chardonnay vineyards of Los Carneros, these cooler Southern Napa Valley climes exhibit quintessential varietal characteristics while preserving inherent freshness and vibrancy.

Honeycrisp apple and Bosc pear flavors are energized by clean, bright layers of tangy citrus and stony minerality— lemon blossom, kumquat, Gravenstein apple, and apricot. Our cellar regimen of French oak fermentation and sur-lie aging lends additional complexity with hints of baking spice, creme brulee, and hazelnuts, while gentle racking preserves the wine’s integrity and nuance without fining or filtration.
