Kelham | 2022 CHARDONNAY, St. Helena | Napa Valley

2022 Kelham Vineyards Chardonnay
St Helena, Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:
This is a quintessential Napa Chardonnay, delivering the kind of toasty richness and citrus-driven fruit found only among Napa Valley's finest producers.  Medium-bodied and precise, it strikes a beautiful balance between voluptuous texture and focused tension.

The nose draws you in with vibrant citrus, giving way to layers of heady orchard and stone fruit wrapped in warm, toasty richness.

On the palate, this Chardonnay is bright and beautifully structured, with citrus frit interwoven with ripe orchard and stone fruit notes, all framed by a saline-tinged acidity that keeps the wine lively and precise.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied and seamless, finishing with a clean, focused persistence that reflects Oakville's gravelly benchland terrior.

Pairing Suggestions:
A natural match for seafood dishes, lemon-herb roasted chicken, fresh goat cheese, or light creamy pastas.

Serving Tip:
Serve slightly chilled to let its citrus brightness and toasty nuances come into full focus.
