This high quality Chardonnay from California matured for nine months in barriques. The white wine unites diverse notes of ripe apples, freshly roasted hazelnuts, dried apricots and tropical fruit in its bouquet, complemented by nuances of vanilla, bakery spices and hints of butter. On the palate, the Rombauer Carneros Chardonnay is creamy and velvety, with a juicy, very acidic finish, which is characterised by lots of yellow fruit and notes of almond biscuits.

Rombauer Vineyards

Der Ex-Luftwaffenpilot Koerner Rombauer, dessen Vorfahren aus dem Rheingau stammten, und seine Frau Joan gründeten die Rombauer Vineyards 1980 am Silverado Trail in bester Lage im Napa Valley.Irma Rombauer, seine Großtante, verfasste das weltbekannte Buch "The joy of cooking" und weckte spätestens damit das Bewusstsein der Familie für die Wichtigkeit von Speisen und Getränken im Leben.

Wurden die ersten Jahrgänge noch mit Hilfe so namhafter Nachbarn wie Shafer oder Stag´s Leap produziert, so kehrte sich dies schnell um und Rombauer half aufstrebenden Wineries wie z.B. Dominus oder Duckhorn bei der Herstellung der ersten Weine, da man kontinuierlich beste Parzellen ankaufte und Anlagen und Keller vergrößerte. 1993 tauchte der Rombauer Chardonnay erstmals in der "Top List 100" des Wine Spectators auf Platz 68 auf; heute haben die Zinfandels und Chardonnays ein Abonnement auf die Spitzenplätze rund um den Globus.

Obwohl immer noch ein Familienbetrieb, bedeutet dieses nicht, dass hier gespart wird. Klotzen, nicht kleckern, ist die typisch amerikanische Devise, die dazu führte, dass z.B. die akribische Traubenselektion mit optischen Sortiermaschinen durchgeführt wird und ein unterirdischer Lagerkeller von über einer Meile Länge gebaut wurde.

Das Motto wird auf den Wein zu 100% übertragen; eine so überbordende Frucht, Cremigkeit, Fülle, Kraft und Expression gibt es selten auf diesem Weinplaneten. Die Rombauers behalten dabei jedoch immer im Auge, dass ein stimmiges food-pairing möglich ist und die Weine von Anfang an und über einen langen Zeitraum trinkbar sind.

Product recommendation

Napa Cellars Chardonnay
This high-quality Chardonnay from the Napa Valley is redolent of vanilla, caramel and honeydew melon, along with nuances of freshly baked apple pie. This white wine comes from coastal vineyards. It is very soft on the palate, with a balanced acidity and a rather creamy finish. The interplay of aromas recalls marshmallows roasted over a campfire.The Napa Cellars Chardonnay comes from vineyards located in the southern Napa Valley and Carneros that provide ideal conditions for the Chardonnay grapes. The fogs and cool winds from the San Francisco Bay and Marin allow the grapes to ripen longer, thus developing their special depth of aroma and crisp acidity. This white wine matured for eight months in oak casks, of which more than 90 per cent were French barrels (Almost 25% of them were new barrels.). Try the Napa Cellars Chardonnay with French soft cheeses with honey. It also goes beautifully with panna cotta with fresh berries. This wine is a genuine taste experience from California.

Chateau Buena Vista Chardonnay Carneros
The Buena Vista Chardonnay Carneros is a Chardonnay produced in the Burgundy style and comes from the wine-growing region of Carneros located north of Sonoma, California. All of the wine matured in wooden casks. Subsequently, it was aged for 12 months in French and Hungarian oak casks, of which 25% were new French oak barrels. The Buena Vista Chardonnay Carneros is a beautiful honey yellow in the glass and is redolent of very sweet apples, marzipan and peach blossoms, underpinned by notes of pears and lemon, complemented by nuances of vanilla and spices. The medium-bodied wine bathes the palate with a pleasing balance. A clear, fine acidity gives the Buena Vista Chardonnay Carneros a wonderful finish. We recommend enjoying this excellent Chardonnay from California with fish, white meat with butter or cream sauce or ripe cheeses.

Stag's Leap Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Klug und bedächtig wählt Winemaker Nicki Pruss das beste Lesegut der verschiedenen Napa-Valley- Lagen und vermählt es gekonnt mit den Trauben des eigenen Fay-Weinbergs im Stag’s Leap District zu diesem einzigartigen Cabernet-Sauvignon-Blend: mit der Tiefe, Struktur und Eleganz der limitierten Einzellagenweine des Weinguts und zugleich geprägt vom individuellen Charakter der einzelnen Napa-Valley-Weinberge, die Artemis um so unendlich viele, oft kleinste Facetten bereichern.Die Trauben werden separat vergoren, die Weine dann zum Artemis Final Blend vermählt. Der Stags Leap Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis reift 18 Monate in Barriques aus französischer Eiche (55 % neu), wird dann abgefüllt und weitere sechs Monate auf der Flasche gelagert, bevor man ihn schließlich für den Handel freigibt.Im Glas zeigt sich der Artemis in einem tiefdunklem, dichten Pflaumenrot mit rubinroten Glanzlichtern. Der amerikanische Rotwein bezaubert mit einem klassischen Cabernet-Bouquet von saftig gereiften schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren und Schwarzkirschen, unterlegt mit erdigen Noten von Moos und Waldboden, Leder, Zeder, Kräutern (Rosmarin), Lakritz, Mokka, Vanille und Karamell. Am Gaumen ist der Wein kraftvoll, intensiv und fest strukturiert, doch mit der klassischen Eleganz von Stag’s Leap. Der individuelle und ausdrucksstarke Cabernet Sauvignon besitzt einen mittleren Körper und ist im Finale lang und harmonisch ausgewogen mit würzigem Nachhall von schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Schwarzteeblättern, Mokka und Lakritz.
