2022 Hess 'Selection' Chardonnay Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: In order to highlight the beautiful structure of this Napa Valley Chardonnay, Hess barrel fermented the wine for 10 months on 33% new French oak, to complement the fresh flavors of white peach and the bright acidity. While barrel aging, they stirred the wine on its lees to add complexity and roundness. Hess Collection Napa Valley Chardonnay opens with beautiful aromas of green apple and vanilla accented by a hint of toffee. The delicious flavors of fresh white peaches harmonize with an elegant creaminess across the palette, while a backbone of bright acidity carries the nuanced mouthfeel. All enveloped with a beautiful finish of subtle vanilla, baking spice and toffee notes. Blend: 100% Chardonnay
