About this product
California sunshine in a glass. Elegant, vibrant, unmistakably Napa.
Duckhorn Vineyards, founded in 1976, has long been one of the great names of Napa Valley. Best known for Merlot and Cabernet, the winery also crafts a stunning Chardonnay that reflects both the richness of California fruit and the finesse of world-class winemaking. Grown in carefully selected vineyard sites across Napa Valley, this Chardonnay showcases the region’s sun-drenched ripeness balanced by freshness and minerality — a harmony that has made Duckhorn a benchmark for lovers of Californian wines worldwide.
Unlike the broad, heavily oaked Chardonnays that once defined California, Duckhorn’s style is polished and restrained, combining bright fruit with judicious use of French oak. The result is a wine of elegance and energy: golden-hued, silky on the palate, and layered with citrus, orchard fruits, and subtle spice. For wine lovers in Ireland, this is California at its best — vibrant, modern, and made for food and conviviality. Whether enjoyed at a special dinner or a casual gathering, Duckhorn Chardonnay brings a taste of Napa Valley sunshine straight to your table.
Why we love it:
Duckhorn Chardonnay strikes the perfect balance between richness and freshness. It has enough weight to feel luxurious, yet it remains lively and refined. It’s the kind of bottle that wins over both Burgundy drinkers and lovers of California wines — versatile, polished, and always rewarding. Perfect when you want something premium yet approachable.
