Chardonnay was our first international success, helping to put not only Trefethen but Napa Valley on the map. Defined in the vineyard and refined in the cellar, this wine reflects the cool climate of our estate in the Oak Knoll District, showcasing our signature characteristics of brightness and balance.
The dedication of the Trefethen family is manifest in every aspect of our operation, from the soil to the table, including sustainable farming, thoughtful winemaking, and gracious hospitality
Fresh aromas of green apple and stone fruit are layered with hints of gardenia. On the palate, zesty citrus flavours and notes of ginger lead to a classic light and bright finish.
Pair this wine with shellfish, which will complement its bright nature. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy also recommends ingredients such as goat milk cheeses, tart apples and ripe
pears
