Stags Leap Wine Cellars Karia Chardonnay

Stags Leap Wine Cellars Karia Chardonnay is a sophisticated expression from Napa Valley, renowned for balancing lush fruit with refined minerality. Sourced from estate vineyards, 'Karia' is a Greek word meaning 'graceful,' which perfectly reflects this wine's style. It undergoes a combination of stainless steel and French oak aging to achieve complexity without heaviness. On the nose, expect bright aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and subtle notes of crème brûlée. The palate is elegant and refreshing, presenting flavors of crisp pear, green apple, and a delicate hint of vanilla spice. Karia is distinguished by its vibrant acidity and smooth texture, culminating in a long, clean finish. This wine is an excellent pairing for roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or fresh seafood.
