The Kongsgaard Chardonnay 2020 is a luxurious white wine from California’s Napa Valley, crafted by the Kongsgaard estate from their estate vineyard. This 2020 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe peach, lemon zest, and white flowers, with hints of brioche, flint, and subtle oak. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of toasty complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels (partly new), this wine reflects the limestone-rich terroir of Napa. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a sophisticated dining experience. Rated highly by critics, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 7-10 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Chardonnay is a collector’s gem, showcasing Kongsgaard’s expertise in crafting world-class California whites with elegance and depth, ideal for enthusiasts seeking a Burgundian-style experience.
