The refined winemaking of Duckhorn Napa Valley Chardonnay
Duckhorn Vineyards has been a household name in Napa Valley for over 40 years. This winery creates wines that embody the complexity and richness of this prestigious region. The Duckhorn Napa Valley Chardonnay is no exception. With an unparalleled dedication to excellence, this wine brings the elegance and splendor of Napa Valley to life in every delightful sip. The Chardonnay grapes are meticulously harvested and brought directly to the winery. Ninety percent of the grapes then undergo fermentation in oak barrels, while the remainder ferments in stainless steel. This creates an intriguing complexity and structure. Furthermore, 40 percent of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, which contributes to its richness and creamy texture. Maturation in a combination of 40 percent new French oak barrels and 60 percent used barrels enhances the harmonious interplay between the fruit and the oak.Tasting notes for Duckhorn Napa Valley Chardonnay
