Description:

Considered as the best winery in North America for quite a few years now, the Robert Mondavi Winery is the place that you need to appreciate the finest wine in this continent. It uses the grapes grown in the wine-rich area of Napa Valley to make scintillating wines, ever since it was established in 1966.

Robert Mondavi The Estates Chardonnay is a classic California-style Chardonnay that celebrates the pioneering spirit of Robert Mondavi, a visionary vintner who revolutionized the Napa Valley wine industry. With its bright golden colour and rich, buttery aromas of vanilla, oak, and tropical fruits, this Chardonnay is a perfect representation of the Robert Mondavi brand. 

The fruit for the Napa Valley Chardonnay is primarily sourced from Carneros and Stags Leap District. The cool climate and clay loam soils of Carneros create an elegant core, while their estate vineyard in Stags Leap District adds complexity and richness.

Tasting Note:
The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which infuses it with a subtle smokiness and a creamy texture that coats the palate. The flavours of ripe pear, apple, and citrus are well-balanced by a hint of toasted hazelnuts, providing a delightful and refreshing finish.
