Saintsbury Sangiacomo Vineyards Chardonnay is a polished Carneros white with juicy pear, ripe citrus, floral lift and a fresh, pithy finish. Barrel fermentation and neutral French oak give it texture without pushing it into a heavy, buttery style.

About the winery · Saintsbury ›
Saintsbury is based at 1500 Los Carneros Avenue in Napa, California. The winery's own materials trace the idea for Saintsbury to founders Ward and Graves, who were inspired by fine Burgundy and a desire to make wines that 'please the senses.' Saintsbury is closely associated with cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and this bottling reflects its long relationship with the Sangiacomo family in Carneros. The Sangiacomo fruit source brings marine fog influence, clay-loam soils and old-vine Chardonnay history to the wine.
