Kelham | 2015 CHARDONNAY, St.Helena | Napa Valley

2015 Kelham Vineyards Chardonnay
Oakville, Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:
The 2015 Kelham Chardonnay is a rich, barrel-fermented expression of Napa Valley, offering a perfect balance of creamy texture and vibrant fruit. In the glass, it shines a golden straw color, hinting at its luscious, full-bodied style.

The nose opens with ripe pear, baked apple, and pineapple, layered with vanilla bean, toasted oak, and a touch of caramelized brioche from its time in French oak.

On the palate, this Chardonnay is buttery and opulent, with flavors of golden apple, lemon curd, and crème brûlée, framed by warm spice and a subtle nutty richness. The oak aging adds depth and complexity while a gentle acidity keeps the wine balanced and fresh.

Mouthfeel:
Smooth, creamy, and round, finishing with lingering notes of vanilla and toasted oak.

Pairing Suggestions:
Beautiful with buttery lobster, roasted chicken with herbs, creamy pastas, or soft triple-cream cheeses.

Serving Tip:
Serve slightly chilled to allow its richness and oak-driven aromas to fully unfold.
