Château Montelena - Chardonnay - Napa Valley

Bright aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and ripe pear lead into a palate layered with lemon curd, honeydew melon, and subtle notes of toasted hazelnut. The wine shows excellent balance between vibrant acidity and a creamy, textured mouthfeel from lees contact. Hints of vanilla and butter from oak aging complement the fresh fruit character. The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering notes of Meyer lemon and a delicate mineral edge that reflects its Napa Valley terroir.
