FAR NIENTE CHARDONNAY 2023

Far Niente Chardonnay 2023 – Napa Valley
by Far Niente Winery

A benchmark Napa Valley Chardonnay, celebrated for its richness, polish, and remarkable balance. The 2023 vintage continues Far Niente’s long-standing reputation for producing one of the most consistent and luxurious Chardonnays in California.

Style & Terroir

Sourced from select Napa Valley vineyards, primarily in cooler sites that allow full ripeness while preserving freshness. Barrel fermentation and aging in French oak (a portion new) contribute texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

Far Niente’s signature style is opulent yet refined — generous, but never heavy.
