Mitsuko's Vineyard is 365 acres in the Los Carneros appellation within the Napa Valley. The rolling land of this vineyard has a broad range of soil types, elevations, slopes, and aspects which create countless distinct microclimates. After careful study, eight different grape varieties were planted at this vineyard utilizing every bit of its diversity. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are commonly found in Los Carneros and are the keys to the region's notoriety. In Mitsuko's Vineyard these varieties receive ideal cooling breezes blowing in from the San Pablo Bay which create the slow, balanced growing season these varieties need to build complexity. The vineyard takes its name from founder Jan Shrem's late wife with whom he became devoted to building Clos Pegase winery and making it an iconic destination in Napa Valley.
Shining straw gold in the glass, the 2022 Chardonnay opens with juicy aromas of apricot, ripe peach, honeysuckle and a touch of vanilla. The palate is silky smooth, with additional notes of crisp stone fruit perfectly balanced with persistent acidity. A fantastic food friendly Chardonnay, pair this with grilled peaches with goat cheese, mahi mahi tacos and fresh summer salads.
