THE STORY

About this wine

Barrel-fermented Napa Valley Chardonnay, dry and still, aged on its lees in French oak. Melon, ripe peach, and pear up front with vanilla and toasted hazelnut behind — a smooth, creamy palate, bright acidity, and a juicy, polished finish.

The 2024 Far Niente Napa Valley Chardonnay is a vintage Napa Valley bottling made from grapes sourced across Napa Valley, with many vineyards in the cool Coombsville area. The wine is barrel-fermented and does not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving freshness and acidity.

Worth knowing

Richness without the malo. Far Niente skips malolactic fermentation entirely on this Chardonnay to keep the acidity refreshing, and builds that richness instead through barrel fermentation and sur-lie aging under French oak.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Far Niente Chardonnay 2024

Tasting

Color: Pale straw and clear in the glass.
Nose: Melon, citrus blossom, ripe peach, and pear lead off, with vanilla and toasted hazelnut close behind. Honeydew, nectarine, and sweet cream fill in from there, while lemon confit, oak spice, and a pastry note are the barrels showing through.
Palate: Medium-bodied and smooth, the creamy texture doing the carrying — grilled citrus, wet stone, chamomile tea, Anjou pear, and almond paste. Bright acidity runs through it, a subtle spice underneath, and it finishes dry, juicy, and polished.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with chilled crab and fresh shellfish
A must try with roast chicken and poultry
A must try with creamy pasta and risotto
