Kongsgaard Description
Since the 1996 inaugural vintage, the Chardonay has been primarily sourced from the Carneros growers Lee Hudson and Larry Hyde. Beginning in 2020 we have been privileged to include fruit from the spectacular Coombsville vineyard planted by Warren Winiarski. In line with the previous bottlings, the wine is defined tension of mineral energy and opulence, honoring its Burgundian antecedents.
Fifth generation Napa natives, John and Maggy began the Kongsgaard wine endeavor planting the Judge vineyard to Chardonnay in the 1970s on family land in the hills east of Napa. 1996 was the inaugural vintage. Alex Kongsgaard and Evan Frazier, both winemakers, joined the partnership a decade later. Our production is limited to what Alex, Evan and John can make with their own hands. Our intensely farmed, shy-bearing vineyards and our archaic, low-intervention winemaking produce powerful, graceful wines–vivid expressions of vineyard and variety.
