A long, moderate growing season allowed for long hang times and a perfect balance of flavors and natural acidity. This Napa Valley Chardonnay comes from several vineyards in one of Napa&#8217;s coolest regions, including ZD&#8217;s own organically certified deLeuze Family Vineyard in Carneros. The grapes were hand harvested at optimal maturities and barrel fermented at 46-48&#176;F in our state of the art fermentation cellar. This slow, cool fermentation lasts upwards of 8-10 weeks and helps to preserve the lush tropical and citrus aromas that can &#8220;blow off&#8221; during warmer traditional fermentations. No malo-lactic fermentation ensures a perfect balance of forward fruit and crisp acidity. Extended aging in toasted American oak barrels provides a richness and complexity that rounds out this distinctive chardonnay that shows beautifully now and will continue to age gracefully for many years. Only 1,200 cases of this wine were produced. Pineapple, apricot, and pear predominate with subtle notes of vanilla and spice. Full bodied on the palate, with ripe apricot, pear, vanilla and a subtle honey note, all integrate beautifully with the spicy American oak to produce an incredibly long, rich finish. -Chris Pisani, Winemaker<br /><font size="4"></font></P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/zdwines/Category3" TITLE="Library Wines">Library Wines</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/zdwines/Category7" TITLE="Library Chardonnay">Library Chardonnay</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/zdwines/Product134 TITLE="2005 ZD Wines Chardonnay"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/zdwines/images/05ch_722.jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="2005 ZD Wines Chardonnay" NAME="2005 ZD Wines Chardonnay" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/zdwines/Product134 TITLE="2005 ZD Wines Chardonnay">2005 ZD Wines Chardonnay</A> -- Gold Medal - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 2007 Gold Medal - International Eastern Wine Competition 2007 Gold Medal - Taster's Guild International Wine Judging 2007 ZD’s 2005 Chardonnay shines with traditional “ZD Style”.
