"The 2022 Chardonnay gives up notes of juicy Bosc pears, apple sauce, and baking bread leading to hints of marzipan and fresh ginger. The medium to full-bodied palate offers a racy backbone and a pleasant hint of oiliness to the texture, supporting the generous apple and pear flavors and finishing with a spicy lift."

About This Wine

More About 2022 Buoncristiani Napa Valley Chardonnay "As with everything in the wine industry, patience is the key to success. After several years of searching for the right source for the Buoncristiani Chardonnay we finally found the perfect blocks. The 2022 Buoncristiani Chardonnay focuses primarily on fruit, minerality and balanced acidity, with secondary flavors of integrated new French oak and richness framed by a full mid-palate and a lingering finish. Harvest timing was essential, allowing for full flavor development, acid balance, and optimum ripeness. Once the desired flavors were at their peak, the fruit was hand harvested in the early cold morning and gently whole cluster pressed. The juice was then slowly fermented by both native and specially selected yeast in a combination of new and twice used French oak barrels and small stainless steel drums. Upon dryness, weekly barrel stirring of the lees commenced to increase the complexity of the aromas and mouthfeel. Only 28% of the secondary malolactic fermentation was allowed, thus giving the final wine’s profile a beautiful balance between richness, intense fruit and crisp acidity in the long finish as we desired. Following 10 months of sur lie aging, we obtained a distinguished harmony between the multiple components during blending trials. We folded the best fit barrels together and with excitement bottled the eleventh of many Buoncristiani Chardonnays."
