We invite you to discover this storied wine.

2024 Carneros Chardonnay

Aromas of yellow peach and ripe melon are found on the nose, interspersed with bright citrus notes. These notes continue on the palate, featuring creamy vanilla and buttery nuances on the long finish. Rombauer’s signature bright acidity is evident in each sip, balancing the softness of the midpalate.

Serving & Storage

Serving & Storage

Ready to drink?  Our Chardonnay tastes best when it is chilled to 50-55 degrees F.  We recommend you pull from refrigeration a few minutes before enjoying as it’s best served slightly cool to allow its complex aromas to shine!

 

Not drinking this soon?  Store in a cool, dark place, ideally 57-62 degrees F, and on its side to protect it from damage and keep the cork wet. While this wine is delicious upon release, it will continue to develop for up to five years from the vintage date.
