2023 Grgich Hills Chardonnay Napa Valley

The winter months of the 2023 vintage brought the relief of heavy rains after three consecutive drought years, with precipitation up to 50% above Napa Valley averages. An unusually cool spring delayed budbreak and was followed by a moderately warm summer with no dramatic heat spikes, allowing the grapes to ripen beautifully. Harvest began in earnest by mid-September and carried on through the first of November, making this one of the longest growing seasons in the Grgich Hills Estate record. Our achievement of Regenerative Organic Certification in December of 2022 was noteworthy as well-all of our wines from the 2023 vintage on will bear this certification that represents the highest standard of environmentally-conscious agriculture.
