  • Background
    Flora Springs Barrel Fermented Chardonnay is Napa Valley history in a bottle. In 1980, at a time when Chardonnay was the true Ambassador for wines from the New World, Flora Springs began its reign as one of the great Chardonnays from Napa Valley. Disregarding trends, Flora Springs continues to craft its Barrel Fermented Chardonnay in a style that has inspired white wine producers and created loyal Chardonnay connoisseurs for the last 29 years. The 2008 vintage offers rich flavors of peach and pear with a hint of pineapple on the palate. This wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation do to the considerable richness that is inherent in our fruit. We choose to highlight the bright acidity available in our Chardonnay to create a delicious wine that can pair beautifully with food or simply be enjoyed alone.
