KARIA comes from a tapestry of vineyards in the southern part of Napa Valley that are cooled in the mornings and evenings by breezes sweeping north from San Pablo Bay, contributing citrus and mineral notes to the wine. The fruit is picked early in the morning to keep it cool and then whole cluster pressed to preserve the freshness. Oak and malolactic fermentation are used in moderation to accent, rather than overwhelm, the fruit. The name KARIA (KAR-ee-ah) is derived from the Greek word meaning graceful, and the 2019 KARIA Chardonnay lives up to its moniker. It shows how grapes from select cool-climate vineyards in southern Napa Valley can be vinified and blended into a seamless integration of fresh-fruit aromas and flavors, crisp acidity, and subtle oak spice. Light and graceful: that's KARIA.
TASTING NOTES
This is a graceful Chardonnay with inviting aromas of apricot, honeysuckle, white peach, and brioche with a mineral-floral note. The wine has a bright and flavorful mouthfeel with a savory coating, texture, and lingering citrus flavors.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Try pairing this Chardonnay with grilled chicken with lemon aioli, grilled salmon with a cucumber, tomato and fresh dill salsa or roast chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta cheese.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
JS90, James Suckling
"Rounded aromas of baked lemon, lemon grass, nutmeg and straw. Medium-bodied. Wet stone and matchstick on the palate, with a silky texture and pleasant weight."
