Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Chardonnay Karia 2009

750ML
Sku: 033466

Inviting aromas of white peach, apple, spiced pear, and citrus join with floral notes of honeysuckle and roses to create a beautiful bouquet. The fruity aromas carry over to the palate and marry with a subtle creaminess and a touch of warm brioche. This delicate richness makes this a versatile wine at the dinner table. Try it with chicken piccata, corn risotto, or a warm goat cheese salad.

Technical notes

We source the fruit for this wine in the cooler climateregions of the Napa Valley, with over 40% of the blend coming from our estate vineyards. ARCADIA VINEYARD, at the foot of Mt. George, provides a framework of invigorating acidity as well as beautiful floral notes. B.R.V., our vineyard in the Oak Knoll District, contributes sweet, juicy apple and pear characters. We complement the fruit from these vineyards with grapes from select vineyards in Carneros that enhance the blend with citrus notes and a minerality that region is known for. In the cellar, oak and malolactic fermentation are used with a light touch. It’s a terroir–driven approach that is built on the belief that winemaking techniques should contribute accent notes and not make the dominant statement.
