Markham Chardonnay 2022

Markham Chardonnay 2022 is a polished premium Napa Valley Chardonnay crafted by the historic Markham Vineyards, showcasing refined California richness with exceptional balance. Estate vineyards form the backbone of this expressive Chardonnay, revealing bright layers of citrus-lemon, green apple, ripe pear, toasted vanilla, crème brûlée, and a subtle kiss of minerality. Barrel fermentation enhances complexity while partial malolactic fermentation adds creamy texture without sacrificing freshness, creating a beautifully balanced and elegant Napa Chardonnay.

Food Pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, seared scallops, butter-poached lobster, creamy mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, roast pork, soft-ripened cheeses, and rich seafood dishes.

Crisp and fruity with aromas of fresh lemons and pears followed by some warm herbs. Medium body with fresh acidity. Flavorful and vivid with a smooth finish.
