Stag's Leap Wine Cellars KARIA Chardonnay 2022

 

This graceful Chardonnay has inviting aromas of pear, white peach, and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, this wine has a lovely texture and delicate ripe fruit notes with hints of minerality and lemon zest on the finish. There is a nice balance to the acidity and minerality that enhances the freshness and elegance of this wine. Try pairing this Chardonnay with grilled chicken with lemon aioli, grilled salmon with a cucumber, tomato and fresh dill salsa or roast chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta cheese.

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Chardonnay Karia is scented of green apples, lemons and orange blossom with a waft of peach kernels and lightly browned toast. The medium to full-bodied palate is understated and well-poised, with a satiny texture and good expression.
