2023 Freemark Abbey Napa Valley Chardonnay

Winemakers absolutely adored the 2023 vintage by all standards. We had enough winter rains to ease us out of drought conditions setting us up for springtime growth. Vine vigor was healthy with good canopy management. Summertime temperatures were very mild, giving us significant hangtime into the fall with harvest starting a few weeks later than recent years. Harvest progressed at an even pace starting on September 1 and concluded on November 8.
