About the Winery:
Kongsgaard is a family project from fifth-generation Napa natives John and Maggy Kongsgaard, who began in the 1970s by planting the Judge vineyard to Chardonnay on family land in the hills east of Napa. The first vintage was 1996. Winemakers Alex Kongsgaard and Evan Frazier joined the partnership about a decade later, and production stays limited to what the three of them can make by hand. The vineyards are intensely farmed and shy-bearing, and the winemaking is low-intervention and old-school, aiming for powerful yet graceful wines that speak clearly of vineyard and variety.
About the Wine:
Napa Valley Chardonnay, 2024 vintage. Kongsgaard's Napa Valley bottling is typically a blend of fruit from the Hyde and Hudson vineyards in Carneros, with a few other sites added in some years.

96 Points - Vinous Media (2023):
"The 2023 Chardonnay (Napa Valley) is a total stunner. Lemon confit, white flowers, tangerine peel, baked apple tart and lightly honeyed notes fill out the layers effortlessly. This large-scale, layered Chardonnay is exceptionally elegant and polished. Readers will find a Chardonnay of tremendous textural breadth and pedigree. Drinking Window: 2027-2038." -Antonio Galloni (Nov 2025)
