Chateau Montelena is one of the most celebrated wineries in Napa Valley. In 1976 at the Paris tasting, Chateau Montelena helped to put California at the forefront of the wine world with their Chardonnay. They have been pioneers in sustainability for over 40 years, with a solar powered winery, eco-friendly barrel caves, fish friendly farming and a Napa Green certified winery.
Producing a Classic styled wine using sun-ripe California grapes, their vineyards are naturally low-yielding because of their rocky soil. Chateau Montelena wines are handcrafted in the cellar. Their wines express the fruit from which they are made and the vintage in which they are grown. The winemakers are always chasing for balance with their wines.
