Napa Valley Chardonnay 2022 | School House Winery

Discover Napa Valley’s Finest: 2022 School House Vineyard Chardonnay

Crafted in the heart of Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain District, this 2022 School House Vineyard Chardonnay reimagines classic California winemaking with a nod to timeless elegance. Sourced from sustainably dry-farmed vines and produced in just 117 cases, this wine embodies exclusivity and precision—perfect for collectors seeking artisanal quality.

Aroma & Flavor Profile
Bursting with an aromatic bouquet of ripe orchard fruits (green apple) and zesty citrus (lemon zest), this Chardonnay opens with coastal floral nuances of baby’s breath and chamomile for a refreshing complexity. On the palate, vibrant acidity balances creamy vanilla oak tones and subtle baking spices, culminating in a mineral-driven finish reminiscent of pre-1990s Burgundy or a golden vintage Chablis. At 13.2% alcohol by volume, it offers crisp balance without overpowering richness—ideal for pairing with seafood or creamy pasta dishes.

Why This Wine Stands Out
Unlike modern oak-forward styles, this wine celebrates Napa’s terroir through understated barrel integration and age-worthy structure. Its elegant profile makes it versatile for both immediate enjoyment or cellar aging up to 7 years. Perfect for wine enthusiasts seeking a refined alternative to mainstream Chardonnays—this bottle is a testament to traditional craftsmanship in California’s iconic wine country.

Serve & Savor
Chill slightly before serving; pairs beautifully with buttery crab cakes, roasted chicken with herbs, or as a sophisticated sipper on its own. A must-try for fans of mineral-driven whites seeking sophistication without pretense—this bottle defines what makes Napa Valley Chardonnay timeless.
