Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay 2018 is a refined and vibrant California white wine made entirely from Chardonnay and aged for 10 months in French oak. It opens with ripe peach, cinnamon, melon, fig and pear aromas, followed by honeysuckle, green apple and vanilla. The palate combines lemon curd, ripe orange and stone fruit with bright acidity, mineral character and a soft bread-like nuance. The finish is fresh and persistent with apricot, orange marmalade, toasted almond and clove.
