Tasting Notes For Duckhorn Napa Valley Chardonnay 2022
With its alluring aromas of lemon cream, orange blossom, Key lime, and candied pineapple, this Chardonnay is a delight for the senses. On the palate, the wine offers a silky smooth texture, vibrant acidity, and flavors of pear and white peach, with hints of brioche adding complexity to the long, focused finish.
The 2022 vintage was challenging, with an unusually dry winter and warm spring, but it resulted in light clusters and small berries, which produced reduced yields and great concentration. The Semillon harvest began on August 5th, followed by a fast and furious first few weeks of picking. A much-needed mid-September cool-down allowed for sugars to realign with flavor development, and moderate temperatures continued throughout the rest of the season, providing additional hangtime for the grapes. The last red grapes were harvested before the rains in late October, producing beautiful wines that are dense, pure, and polished.
Indulge in the heavenly taste of Duckhorn Napa Valley Chardonnay 2022 and experience the perfect balance of fruitiness, acidity, and texture. This wine is perfect for pairing with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.
