Moone-Tsai is a boutique Napa Valley producer built around long-standing relationships with some of the region’s most celebrated vineyard sites and a clear commitment to limited-production, site-driven wines. The portfolio draws fruit from elite areas including Howell Mountain, Pritchard Hill, Oakville, Coombsville, St Helena and Bald Mountain, with winemaking led by Philippe Melka. The house style balances Napa richness with precision and restraint, using meticulous vineyard selection, thoughtful French oak and minimal-intervention techniques to let each site speak clearly.
Tasting Note: Crafted from the renowned Charles Heintz Vineyard on the cool Sonoma Coast, the 2017 Chardonnay is a beautifully refined expression of one of California's finest Chardonnay sites.
Delicate aromas of white blossom, Meyer lemon and citrus zest are complemented by green apple and subtle tropical fruit. The palate unfolds with layers of white peach, ripe citrus and lightly toasted brioche, underpinned by wet stone minerality and vibrant natural acidity. Barrel fermented and matured for 16 months in French oak, the wine achieves remarkable balance between richness and freshness, finishing long, elegant and effortlessly precise.
A sophisticated Chardonnay that combines Burgundian finesse with the generosity of California's coastal vineyards.
