TASTING NOTES
The 2025 Meadowcroft Chardonnay is sourced from the cool-climate Napa Carneros appellation, where the influence of San Pablo Bay brings morning fog, afternoon breezes, and moderate temperatures. These conditions allow the fruit to ripen slowly, preserving natural acidity while developing vibrant aromatics and exceptional balance. This wine offers bright, expressive aromas of green apple, citrus rind, marmalade, and apple candy. On the palate, vibrant flavors of lemon, lime, crisp green apple, and subtle tropical notes create a lively yet balanced profile. A round, smooth mouthfeel carries through the wine’s fresh acidity, leading to a polished and refreshing finish.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING
This versatile Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken with citrus and herbs, grilled halibut, or creamy seafood pasta. Its bright fruit and balanced texture also complement crab cakes, burrata with stone fruit, or grilled shrimp with lemon butter. For lighter fare, enjoy it alongside fresh summer salads, mild cheeses, or a warm brie and apple tart.
