2024 Duckhorn Vineyards 50th Anniversary Napa Valley Chardonnay


The 2024 growing season began with abundant winter rainfall, revitalizing the vines for a strong start. Ideal weather during bud break and bloom fostered a generous crop, while above average temperatures in June and July encouraged vibrant vine growth and consistent berry ripening. Dynamic weather patterns throughout summer brought alternating warm and cool periods late into the season, with moderate September temperatures fostering balanced sugars and vibrant acidity.

Established in 1976 by renowned vintners Margaret and Dan Duckhorn, Duckhorn Vineyards is an iconic Napa Valley winery deeply rooted in a rich legacy of tradition. This Chardonnay, sourced from some of Napa Valley’s most prized Chardonnay sites, is a testament to the artistry and dedication that defines each vintage of our storied history.

Winemaker Notes

Crafted in celebration of Duckhorn Vineyards’ 50th anniversary, this Chardonnay opens with captivating aromas of caramelized pineapple, white stone fruit, ripe pear and a whisper of mango crème brûlée. The palate is rich yet bright, with lifted acidity that lends elegance and subtle hints of key lime pie. Nuanced notes of fruit, delicate florals and refined minerality add depth and grace, extending into a long, polished finish worthy of this milestone vintage.
