Only 375 cases of the Fantesca 2005 Chardonnay were
produced with the intention of having a beautiful
Burgundian-style Chardonnay to share with friends and
family. The wine's natural acidity and minerality compliment
the rich, ripe fruit flavors.
A New Boutique Winery Discovery! Fantesca has been
producing elegant wines at their Spring
Mountain estate since the 2002 vintage, crafted by the
well-known father and son winemaking team of Nils and
Kirk Venge. The estate is rich with history, having originally
been in the dowry of Caroline Bale when she married
Charles Krug in 1860. Even then, the property was
recognized as prime mountain vineyard land and the
perfect place for a Spring Mountain winery, which
today includes more than 10 acres of vineyards, a Tuscan
estate, wine caves and custom crush facilities used
by several Napa Valley boutique wine producers.
The Napa Valley is one of the most highly praised regions
in the wine world, and has been ever since the mid-70's (if
not the mid-60's for Robert Mondavi and like-minded
pioneers) for the quality of its climate, and its seemingly
inexhaustible supply of moderate, ideal growing seasons. A
region full of climatologically diverse sub-regions, it is a
winemaker's paradise, as they are able to harness the
potential of so many diverse terroirs within such a relatively
small area.
