Chardonnay / 2023
The 2023 Chardonnay Natalia's Selection leaps from the glass with a captivating bouquet of fragrant jasmine, warm chai spice, caramelized apple, and whispers of sun-kissed tropical fruit. Lush and velvety on the palate, it delivers lively brightness and concludes with a delicate, creamy almond finish. This is an enchantingly elegant Chardonnay.

Named for the wife of the Count’s son Attila and the daughter of General Mariano Vallejo, Natalia’s selection Chardonnay is harvested from the Green Valley region of the Russian River Valley, where the warm summer days and cool nights of the region allowed the select blocks to reach optimum ripeness and flavor maturity. The grapes for our 2023 Chardonnay were harvested in the early morning to retain freshness. The wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation and was aged in 100% French oak, 32% new, for 18 months prior to bottling on April 1, 2025.
