Franciscan Chardonnay is an unoaked Chardonnay from Napa Valley, California, produced by Franciscan Estate in the Oakville appellation. It is made without oak ageing or malolactic fermentation, a deliberate departure from the buttery, barrel-driven style common in much Napa Valley Chardonnay. Franciscan Estate has produced wine in Oakville since the early 1970s and is owned by E&J Gallo; the estate developed Napa Valley's first 100% wild-yeast fermented Chardonnay. The wine shows pineapple, lemon flower, white blossom, lemon zest and honeydew melon on the nose, with pear, apple, pineapple, citrus, minerality, peach and honey on the palate. The finish is clean and bright, with lingering citrus and stone fruit closing on a crisp mineral note.
