{"product_id":"stags-leap-wine-cellards-karia-chardonnay-napa-valley","title":"Stag's Leap Wine Cellars KARIA Chardonnay, Napa Valley (2023)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStag's Leap Wine Cellars secured its place in global wine history at the 1976 Judgment of Paris, and their Karia Chardonnay continues that legacy of sophisticated Napa winemaking. Derived from the Greek word for 'graceful', this cuvée is an expertly calibrated expression of cool-climate vineyards from across the southern reaches of the valley.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking philosophy relies on restraint and precision, deliberately avoiding the heavy, butter-laden style of traditional California Chardonnay. A portion of the wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels to build a creamy, textured mid-palate, while the remainder is kept in stainless steel to preserve the grapes' vital natural energy. This highly deliberate approach yields a brilliantly fresh white that balances richness with a striking, coastal tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePouring this bottle provides an effortless touch of West Coast luxury. It delivers an impeccably polished profile of crisp green apple, white peach, and subtle toasted brioche, anchored by a bright, mineral finish. It is an intelligent, gracefully structured Chardonnay that commands attention alongside a classic roast chicken or a rich, buttery Dover sole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stag's Leap","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":56938315612543,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/5216\/1623\/files\/Stags-Leap-Karia-2510.png?v=1759503464","url":"https:\/\/www.fulhamwinecompany.co.uk\/products\/stags-leap-wine-cellards-karia-chardonnay-napa-valley","provider":"The Fulham Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
