La Tapatia Chardonnay Carneros 2016
About the wine
Crisp, refreshing... and full of Carneros style
- Dalia & Everardo are Carneros royalty. Their folks started the first Mexican-American owned wineries in Napa – and now these kids are making names for themselves.
- This cool western region of Napa is one of the best regions around for crisp Chard. The fruit is vivacious, oozing with citrus, melon and pears. Anyone have a handkerchief for this drool?
- Did we mention it's crazy 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
Laying the wine down between 5 months up to a year will allow the wine to add subtle richness, elegance and balance!
