Carneros Chardonnay

The iconic Chardonnay with a history of distinction: Rombauer Carneros Chardonnay.

With five signature elements – intense fruit character, creamy texture, vanilla oak, butter, and mouthwatering acidity- this wine is the benchmark California Chardonnay, revered by critics and consumers around the world.

We invite you to discover this storied wine.

Serving and Storage Questions

- Ready to drink? Our Chardonnay tastes best when it is chilled to 50-55 degrees F. We recommend you pull from refrigeration a few minutes before enjoying as it’s best served slightly warm to allow its complex aromas to shine!

Not drinking this soon? Store in a cool, dark place, ideally 57-62 degrees F, and on its side to protect it from damage and keep the cork wet. While this wine is delicious upon release, it will continue to develop for up to five years from the vintage date.

Stuffed Peaches

Lightly doused in orange juice before grilling, the concentrated flavors and lush textures mirror those found in the Chardonnay. This combination tastes best in summer when the peaches are ripe, the weather is warm, and the Chardonnay is cold.
