Trefethen Description

“ . . . the yardstick by which all other Chardonnays must be measured.”- Robert Drouhin

"...as with past versions that have consistently shown the ability to age effortlessly for many years, the 2021 edition will repay cellar time but can be enjoyed now for its crisp and lively manner."

- Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine 2022

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

This wine is crisp, with lovely aromas of lemon, jasmine, white peach, and lavender. On the palate, the bright acidity is supported by flavors of honeydew melon and citrus, delivering a refreshing finish.

The preceding winter, which marked our second consecutive drought year, featured the lowest rainfall totaling our entire history, going back to 1968. The vines grew vigorously during the warm and dry spring as the vineyard team did an excellent job with early weed control and irrigation. The summer months, from June through September, were all cooler than average, which slowed down the ripening process and allowed for fantastic flavor development. The yields were lower than usual, given the drought conditions, but the resulting wines are excellent and reflect our unique location in the Oak Knoll District at the cooler southern end of Napa Valley.

Our Signature Chardonnay pairs exceptionally well with Chef Chris’ Cioppino. The classic acidity cuts through the richness of the tomatoes, while the wine’s flavors complement the savory fish and shellfish ingredients.
