2007 Grgich Hills Napa Valley Chardonnay
One 750ml bottle
Following the classic style that Mike Grgich established in 1977, the Chardonnay did not undergo malolactic fermentation and Biodynamic farming, creating a white wine that is alive with delicious acidity.
2007 was a wonderful year for Grgich Hills Chardonnay with a long, dry growing season. The warm spring in Napa Valley brought early budding and bloom, followed by a relatively cool summer that allowed even ripening on the vine and then a heat spike at the end of August that jump-started harvest. Because they received only 60 percent of our normal precipitation, the grapes were smaller, reducing yield but providing concentrated flavors.
