Blend
We take pride in our long-standing relationships with our growers, and love that we can share that pride with you through the Grower Series wines. The Ghisletta family came to the United States from Switzerland in the late 1800s and have been farming in Napa for over 100 years, first in dairy and now in wine. Ghisletta Vineyard Chardonnay has been part of Mumm Napa blends for three decades. We’re pleased to release this gorgeous Blanc de Blancs that is a true reflection of place and family tradition.

About This Wine
In making this wine, we fermented the juice in stainless steel tanks to highlight the bright fruit aromas. The blend was aged three years on the yeast for added complexity and toastiness. To finish the wine, we added a low dosage to allow the vineyard character to take center stage.

Profile
This wine opens with beautiful Meyer lemon notes, accented by green apple, pear, and pleasant biscuit aromas from the yeast aging. A creamy attack gives way to a delicately toasty finish that complements the citrus notes.
Occasions & Pairings
This wine would be lovely with oysters or grilled shrimp. If seafood isn’t your thing, pair it with a summer vegetable risotto.
