2022 Trefethen - Chardonnay Napa Estate (750ml)
The 2022 Trefethen Chardonnay Napa Estate (750ml) is crafted entirely from Trefethen's estate vineyards in the Oak Knoll District, one of Napa's coolest growing sites at the southern end of the valley. Cooling influence from San Pablo Bay and Pacific fog extends the ripening season, helping build balanced acidity and expressive fruit.
Founded in 1968 by Gene and Katie Trefethen, Trefethen Family Vineyards remains family-run today, with the next generation guiding the estate alongside winemaker Bryan Kays. This Chardonnay is the wine that first put both the winery and Napa Valley on the international map, and it remains central to the estate's identity.
