Aged for 10 months in French oak (30% new), it provides a refined, lingering finish with excellent aging potential. Perfect for pairing with lobster, roasted poultry, or aged cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects Staglin’s commitment to crafting terroir-driven wines. The 2017 vintage, marked by balanced conditions, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, offering a sophisticated Napa white for enthusiasts seeking richness and elegance. Its harmonious flavor profile and structured finesse make it a standout choice for collectors.
