La Tapatia Chardonnay Carneros 2015
About the wine
Crisp and elegant Chard from serious Carneros royalty
- Dalia & Everardo are Carneros' most famous heirs. Their folks started the first Mexican-American owned wineries in Napa – and now the kids making names for themselves.
- Carneros is one of the best regions around for Chardonnay. The fruit is vivacious, oozing with citrus and juicy pears... anyone have a handkerchief for this drool?
- This is quality Chard made affordable – and it's wildly food-friendly. Now that we're on the subject, follow Dalia if you're looking for some killer meal suggestions – she always has the best ones!
Best before
Storing at cellar temperature and aging 1-2 years will allow this wine to mature beautifully. However, we're drinking it now!
Serving advice
Pop Chardonnay in refrigerator for 30 minutes before opening and enjoying.
Food match
Salmon ceviche, seafood pastas, seared scallops and popcorn.
Contains sulphites

- Their bright and vivacious Carneros wines (and brilliant food recommendations) amassed this duo a major Angel following, with thousands watching their every wine move!
- Dalia is currently Director of Sales & Marketing at Ceja Vineyards. Sonoma winemaker Everardo is heading up his family's iconic winery, too - as Winemaker/CEO for Robledo Family Vineyards.
