Cakebread (Napa)

The grapes for their Napa Valley Chardonnay come primarily from the cooler southern precincts of the valley, which stretch from the fog-chilled Carneros district to the slightly warmer Oak Knoll region just north of the town of Napa. Blending fruit from diverse microclimates and soils allows us to craft a rich, ripe, elegantly structured Chardonnay that’s delicious on release, but also ages well in bottle. To enhance the wine’s freshness and protect our vineyard workers from the high temperatures prevalent during harvest, we pick most of our fruit at night, ensuring it arrives at the winery in pristine condition.
