Mason Chardonnay Napa 2021

Mason Cellars Chardonnay White Wine is sourced from two sustainably farmed vineyards located in the southern end of Napa Valley, where vines enjoy morning fog, warm afternoon sun and cooling evening breezes from the nearby San Pablo Bay. This white wine has aromas of pear, honey and pineapple. On the palate, the wine is round and creamy with notes of oak beautifully integrated with the fruit flavors, all of which are complemented by a hint of vanilla and carry through the long and lingering finish. Mason Cellars has received many awards from Wine Spectator and James Suckling. This white wine pairs well with grilled chicken or a cheese board. Both vineyards were hand harvested at night to retain the structure and quality of the grapes on their way to crushing. 86% of the wine was barrel fermented and underwent malolactic fermentation before aging on the lees for 6 months, which adds complexity and roundness to the finished wine. 14% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation. The perfect balance of the two was then determined for the final blend, highlighting classic Napa Valley fruit characters. This bottle of wine has 14.19% alcohol by volume.
