Groth 2022 Estate Chardonnay captures the quintessential characteristics of its varietal and provenance. Inviting aromas of creme brulee, green apple, ripe cantaloupe and apricot jam greet the nose with an underlay of orange blossom, lychee and baking spice. The palate is rich and luxurious with an opulent surge of grilled peach and yellow plum kept in focus by a lift of orange zest acidity, finishing long with a toasted brioche echo. - Director of Winegrowing Ted Henry
Product Information
In 1981, Dennis and Judy Groth took a huge leap of faith and acquired a 121-acre vineyard property in Oakville, the heart of Napa Valley. Four years later Dennis walked away from his successful executive role at Atari and the family made the Oakville vineyard estate their home. Their belief in the vineyards continued to grow, they were encouraged by new friends and Napa neighbors that helped them settle in. By 1985 they were rewarded with an exceptional vintage of Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, one that would go on to capture a 100-point rating from the Wine Advocate. This became a strategic turning point, as no American wine had ever received a perfect score from any wine publication. By 1990, their relentless dedication and stellar wine reviews had transformed the property into a renowned winery, firmly establishing Groth's presence on the wine map. Today, Suzanne Groth, the daughter of Dennis, and Judy, now leads the family's thriving wine business. Their shared belief, curiosity, and dedication drive the team to continually evolve in the endless pursuit of quality. Rooted in Oakville and with the reins of the winery firmly in the family's grasp, we are resolute in our commitment to leaving a legacy for generations to come.
