Drink it now or cellar for a few years. No need to decant before serving.

For approximately 135 years, there has been a wine cellar at Freemark Abbey. It only became known as Freemark Abbey in 1939, but previously existed as Lombarda Cellars and Tychson Cellars, as far back as the 1880s. The current team produces a delicious range of wine in the heart of Napa Valley, rivalling anything produced in the establishment's long history.

Freemark Abbey sources its grapes from a variety of appellations around Napa Valley, and this Chardonnay is a testament to the winery's diversity. The region is famous for its reds, Cabernet Sauvignon in particular, and while its white wines are less known, they tend to have a complex and highly enjoyable character.

Aromas of ripe apple, peach and buttered toast float from the bottle, it is taut and fresh to taste. Three parts were aged in French oak barrels and one part in stainless steel tanks, for 10 months. Flavours of stone fruit and lemon rind mingle with sweet vanilla and baking spices on the palate, which also bears a tangible oakiness. This wine is excellent value, having received several 90+ ratings from critics. It has a lingering finish, which reveals notes of grapefruit and delicate apple skin. Pair it with creamy fish or meat dishes, or toasted nuts.
