A rare and refined expression of Napa Valley Chardonnay, this small-production gem from Kelham Vineyards showcases the elegance of dry-farmed fruit and a vigneron-driven approach. Aged in neutral French oak and partially undergoing malolactic fermentation, it takes cues from Chablis while staying true to its Californian roots.
Delicate white flowers and lemon curd lift the nose, while the palate reveals beautifully restrained tropical fruit and a whisper of candied mandarin. Remarkably fresh and focused for its age, this 2015 is graceful, structured, and quietly powerful. A true artisan Chardonnay textured, terroir-driven, and unapologetically distinctive. Seek it out if you appreciate purity over flash.
