Rombauer Carneros Chardonnay

Carneros, California

Carneros sits at the cool southern end of Napa and Sonoma, where San Pablo Bay breezes slow ripening and help Chardonnay keep acidity. Rombauer's version is famous for a rich, buttery California style.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is highly responsive to winemaking, showing apple, pear, tropical fruit, butter, vanilla, and toast when grown ripe and aged in oak with malolactic influence.

Clay and loam soils, cool wind, and long ripening build fruit concentration while retaining freshness. Barrel fermentation, malolactic conversion, and lees contact shape the creamy, vanilla-spiced texture.

Pineapple, baked apple, lemon curd, butter, vanilla, and toast form a rich, instantly recognizable Chardonnay nose.

Rombauer is one of the most recognizable names for opulent, buttery California Chardonnay.
