Tasting Notes
Elegant and expressive, the Far Niente Chardonnay 2023 opens with layered aromas of citrus blossom, ripe melon, and honeysuckle, evolving into delicate hints of white fig, gardenia, and toasted hazelnuts. The palate is silky and richly textured, with a sweet core of citrus and melon, enhanced by white floral tones, toasted vanilla, and subtle spice. Balanced oak integration lends warmth, while the bright acidity carries through to a long, clean finish.

The grapes were brought to the winery in small bins and sorted by hand to ensure the finest quality. Fermentation began in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and 89% was racked into French oak barrels to complete fermentation in the old stone cellars, with 12% maturing in stainless steel. The wine did not undergo malolactic conversion and was aged for 11 months on its fine lees for additional depth, complexity, and texture in French oak barrels, of which 52% were new and 48% were used once.
Bright and lively, with aromas of lemon zest, kumquat, toasted almonds layered with a hint of wet stone and flint. It is enchanting, with a silky entry and vibrant flavours of grilled citrus, melon and toasted oak that expand across the mid-palate all the way until the finish.

| Winery | Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards, many of which are located in a little-known area called Coombsville. Coombsville is a cool growing region nestled in the rolling countryside and protected by the hills east of the city of Napa. It offers the characteristic climate of Carneros, with less wind, along with deeper, well-drained, gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils. The combination of these vineyards results in subtle, tropical flavours, complex aromas, and rich texture. One of the classic wineries of Napa Valley, Far Niente derives its name from the Italian phrase 'Dolce Far Niente' - 'how sweet it is to do nothing'. It was founded in 1885 and flourished until the advent of prohibition. Abandoned for over 60 years, the winery was purchased in 1979 by Gil Nickel, who started the long process of restoring it. Today, they own 80 hectares of vineyard across three different sites, which many consider some of the finest viticultural land in the Napa Valley. Since restoration, Far Niente has been dedicated to producing the finest Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon; worldwide demand always exceeds supply. |
