Built in 1886, John and Janet Trefethen began restoring what is today the Trefethen winery in 1973. A national historic landmark and the only wooden gravity-flow winery in the Napa Valley, Trefethen is also one of Napa's largest estate wineries, with its 600 acres of vineyards surrounding the winery. The Trefethen family creates Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Riesling as well as limited quantities of Library Selection Chardonnay, Library Selection Cabernet Sauvignon and Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
Fresh aromas of green apple and stone fruit are layered with hints of gardenia. On the palate, zesty citrus flavors and notes of ginger lead to a classic light and bright finish. Pair this wine with shellfish, which will complement its bright nature. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy also recommends ingredients such as goat milk cheeses, tart apples and ripe pears.
