Protege Chardonnay Napa Valley

Elegant, Lush, and Fruit-Forward


Description:

Protege Chardonnay Napa Valley is a refined and well-balanced expression of Napa Valley's most iconic white wine. Sourced from the prestigious Napa Valley, a region renowned for its exceptional terroir, this Chardonnay benefits from the area's warm climate and diverse microclimates, which help produce grapes with vibrant fruit character, balanced acidity, and subtle oak influence. Protege showcases Napa’s ability to craft Chardonnays that are rich and textured yet retain freshness and elegance. Through a careful balance of oak aging and stainless steel fermentation, this wine offers layers of complexity, with fruit-forward flavors and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.


Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, Protege Chardonnay Napa Valley is expressive and inviting, offering aromas of ripe citrus like lemon and lime, complemented by tropical fruit notes of pineapple and mango. There’s a delicate undertone of vanilla and butter, thanks to the wine’s oak aging, as well as a touch of baked apple and honeyed nuances, adding warmth and depth to the bouquet. Subtle floral hints of white blossom round out the nose, adding a sense of elegance and freshness.

  • Palate: On the palate, the wine is smooth and medium-bodied with a creamy, lush texture. The flavors mirror the nose with vibrant, citrusy notes of lemon and lime, followed by tropical fruit flavors like pineapple and papaya. The oak influence is present but subtle, offering nuances of vanilla, buttered toast, and a touch of almond. There’s a nice balance of fresh acidity, which provides structure and lifts the fruit-forward character, making the wine feel refreshing and lively.

  • Finish: The finish is long, smooth, and slightly creamy, with lingering flavors of ripe citrus, apple, and a soft note of vanilla. The wine’s clean acidity and touch of oak provide a balanced, lingering finish that invites another sip.


Overall:

Protege Chardonnay Napa Valley is a beautifully balanced wine that reflects the unique characteristics of Napa Valley’s climate and terroir. With its bright fruit flavors, creamy texture, and subtle oak influence, it offers a perfect blend of richness and freshness, making it an excellent choice for Chardonnay lovers who appreciate elegance and complexity in their wines.

This Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, including grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes such as fettuccine alfredo, and grilled vegetables. It also complements cheese boards, particularly brie, goat cheese, and aged cheddar.
