Matthiasson Chardonnay ‘Linda Vista Vineyard’ 2023 Napa, California

Description

Grape : Chardonnay.

Style : Medium bodied and powerful. Meyer lemon, yellow peach, and melon. The palate is vibrant and layered, balancing juicy stone fruit with a zesty citrus and a creamy, textural and mineral finish.

Details : Sourced from the family’s organic, no till Linda Vista Vineyard behind their Napa home. The fruit was harvested early to preserve natural acidity and underwent spontaneous fermentation. The wine was aged on its lees to build a silky texture without overt oak influence, resulting in a wine of exceptional balance.

Story : Steve and Jill Matthiasson are sustainable farming pioneers, whose consultancy has shaped the practices of Napa’s most prestigious estates. On their own land, they apply this deep wisdom with their own hands, championing biodiversity and early harvests.
