Darioush Signature Chardonnay 2020

Already sold out at the winery, Darioush Chardonnay 2020 is exceptionally bright and refreshing with mineral-driven aromatics, unfurling on the palate with voluminous citrus notes. Crisp quince, Granny Smith apple, and tangy lemon curd flavors take center stage on the impressively weighted mid-palate, framed by classic yet delicate notes of toasted brioche and hazelnut. Despite its largesse, the wine is impeccably balanced, finishing as it begins with delightful acidity and nuances of wet stone and slate.

The hallmark of Darioush Signature Chardonnay is its progressive style of integrating precision, richness, and complexity. Grown from the winery estate and renowned Chardonnay vineyards of Los Carneros, these cooler Southern Napa Valley climes exhibit quintessential varietal characteristics while preserving inherent freshness and vibrancy.

Aged 11 months in 66% new Siruge, Damy and François Frères French oak barrels and made by winemaker Hope Goldie, the grapes hail from Darioush Estate Vineyards in Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder, Oak Knoll and Los Carneros. Only 1,050 cases produced.
