Description
Bruce & Barbara were college sweethearts at the university of Delaware. Bruce’s brief stint in the Army brought them to San Francisco in 1970 where they soon became a part of the exciting Bay Area food & wine scene. They moved up to Napa Valley and ultimately purchased the Conn Valley Ranch in 1984 and in 1992 Neyers Vineyards was born.
A Commitment To Excellence. Influenced by French wine producers. Neyers wines, though grown in California, are greatly influenced by old world philosophies and techniques.
Neyers Vineyards sits in the heart of the Napa Valley but Bruce’s experience with Berkeley based French wine importer Kermit Lynch has had an undeniable influence on our wines. Many of the French producers Bruce worked with farm organically, make their wines naturally without use of cultured yeast or laboratory designed malo-lactic starter, and bottle their wines without fining or filtration. We like the results and utilize many of their ideas.
The production of outstanding wine is invariably accompanied by some degree of risk, and with the help of many of our French colleagues, we’ve learned how to minimize that risk, and make it work to our advantage.
WINEMAKER NOTES:
The 2020 Chardonnay from Carneros came from a warm, early vintage. Yields averaged about three tons per acre, and the wine is characterized by its combination of fresh, natural acidity, low alcohol, and a bright, complex finish.
It’s difficult to imagine any food that won’t be improved by a glass of it, but the winemaker finds it especially enjoyable with whole roasted, lemon-stuffed chicken.
TASTING NOTES:
The aromas are immediately attractive with a lemon/lime zest quality and the flavors beckon you in with their softness and intrigue. It’s medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity, spiced apple flavors, and a subtle toasty component.
