Pahlmeyer Chardonnay 2022 750ml

Pahlmeyer Chardonnay 2022 is an iconic Napa Valley Chardonnay showcasing the winery's signature combination of opulence, concentration and vibrant acidity.

Crafted from Chardonnay grown at high-elevation Napa Valley vineyards and selected blocks in Carneros, the 2022 vintage delivers a powerful yet beautifully balanced expression of the variety.

The wine opens with expressive stone-fruit aromas followed by a fresh tropical lift, with subtle notes of toasted marshmallow and flint. On the palate, concentrated fruit is layered with crushed Marcona almond, freshly baked macaroon and preserved lemon, supported by dynamic acidity.

Rich and textured yet bright and focused, the wine combines luxurious oak-derived complexity with a persistent mineral freshness. Its concentration and structure give it excellent ageing potential, while its richness makes it immediately appealing with fine food.
