Description

Karia from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is a Napa Valley Chardonnay built on grace rather than weight. The nose opens with apricot, honeysuckle and white peach alongside a note of brioche, with a mineral-floral thread running underneath.

Medium-bodied on the palate, it carries a bright, flavorful mouthfeel with a savory coating, real texture and citrus flavors that linger. It works well with grilled chicken and lemon aioli, grilled salmon topped with cucumber, tomato and fresh dill salsa, or roast chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta. Bottled at 14.5% ABV in 750 ml.

    About Stags

    Karia is blended from vineyards across southern Napa Valley, including sites in the Atlas Peak District, Oak Knoll AVA (with the estate Danika Ranch), Carneros and Coombsville's Arcadia Vineyard. The Carneros sites at Beckstoffer Las Amigas and Carneros Creek, cooled morning and evening by breezes off San Pablo Bay, add citrus and mineral character, while Arcadia contributes perfume and delicate fruit and Danika Ranch brings juicy apple and pear; fruit was picked early while cool, whole cluster pressed for freshness, with oak and malolactic fermentation used sparingly.
