2021 Kongsgaard Chardonnay

Kongsgaard Wine is a family-owned business in Napa Valley, California. It was founded in the late 1970s by John and Maggy Kongsgaard (who unfortunately lost her battle with Cancer in 2020). John Kongsgaard is a renowned winemaker and viticulturist known for his dedication to producing high-quality wines in small batches.

California native John Kongsgaard began his wine career in the 1970s. He gained experience at well-known wineries, including Newton Vineyard in Napa Valley. In 1975, John and Maggy Kongsgaard purchased a property in Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District. This laid the foundation for their own winemaking venture. Kongsgaard Wine gained early recognition for its Chardonnay. John Kongsgaard took a unique approach to Chardonnay production, emphasizing minimal intervention, fermentation in small French oak barrels and the use of indigenous yeasts. This approach allowed the wines to express the nuances of the vineyard and varietal characteristics. Over the years, Kongsgaard Wine continued to refine its winemaking techniques and expand its portfolio. The winery was recognized for its limited production Chardonnay and later for its Cabernet Sauvignon. Both varieties reflected the Kongsgaards' commitment to showcasing the best of Napa Valley terroir. John Kongsgaard is an advocate of sustainable and organic farming practices. The winery attaches importance to cultivating the land in a way that respects the environment and allows the vines to flourish naturally.

Kongsgaard's Chardonnay gives everything you expect from a top Chardonnay from the USA. It bursts from the glass with notes of stone fruit, honey, citrus with spicy flavors of ginger. The palate is medium to full and has enormous intensity, with a refreshing acidity that cuts through the tightly wrapped stone fruit and spicy layers, with a long and honeyed finish. Kongsgaard's Chardonnays are often compared to the Montrachet style from Burgundy.
