Kongsgaard The Judge Chardonnay 2019

Fifth-generation Napa natives, Maggy and John Kongsgaard began their winemaking venture in the 1970s planting The Judge vineyard on the Kongsgaard family land near Napa. The inaugural Kongsgaard wines came in 1996 and the wines are produced in the family`s underground winery—a cave dug into the volcanic rock, high on the eastern rim of the Napa Valley where the Kongsgaards have planted a spectacular mountain vineyard. These intensely farmed, shy-bearing vineyards and a traditional low-intervention winemaking produce powerful, graceful wines—vivid expressions of vineyard and variety. An opulent and luxurious Chardonnay, with masterful oak integration.
