About the Wine
This is not just another Napa Chardonnay. It's the result of five generations of passion, expertise, and family history, poured into every bottle. From the iconic Stonebridge Vineyard that has been in the Verdon family for over a century, to the craftsmanship of one of Napa's top winemakers, Kevin Morrisey, this is Chardonnay at its finest.
At Verdon Estate, winemaking isn't just a job—it's a family tradition that spans generations. The Verdon family’s roots go deep, from the picturesque village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie in southern France to the rugged, sun-drenched slopes of Napa Valley. This winery is a nod to the Verdon River, which gave birth to the family’s very existence. Their journey from France to Napa is the story of chasing perfection—and it shows in every bottle they produce.
But it’s not just the history that makes Verdon Estate special. It’s the people. Kevin Morrisey, the mastermind behind these exceptional wines, brings a pedigree that’s as impressive as they come. With experience at Château Pétrus and Etude Winery, Kevin’s talent and vision make him a true rockstar of the Napa Valley wine scene. Under his guidance, Verdon Estate’s wines embody both the old-world sophistication of Europe and the bold, vibrant energy of Napa.
2021 Stonebridge Chardonnay No.8 is a wine that has all the right moves. It's golden in the glass, with aromas that’ll have your senses jumping. Think honeyed peach, luscious lemon curd, jasmine flowers, and a hint of quince paste. As you take your first sip, the wine bursts with vibrant citrus fruits, spiced meringue, and silky lemon custard that linger on your tongue. The finish? Crisp, clean, and pure.
It’s smooth, it’s fresh, it’s bold—everything you want from Napa Chardonnay, but with a style and elegance that sets it apart.
Aged for 10 months in 50% new French Oak.
