La Tapatia Chardonnay Carneros 2013
About the wine
Beautiful Chardonnay from our Carneros Princess
- The best Chardonnay vineyards in northern California benefit from cool coastal influences that protect the fruit from burning up and getting too ripe – that's why Carneros is world famous for wines just like this, intense Chardonnay with a touch of well-integrated oak.
- And Dalia is Carneros royalty – her folks were field workers who overcame all the odds to become the first Mexican-American winery owners in Napa and Carneros – so she has the connections to get the best fruit.
- Dalia and her mom do amazing cooking videos where they show off how wines like this are perfect pairings for everything from roast chickens to buttered popcorn and creme brulee!
