Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay Napa Valley 2016 750 ml

Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay is Napa Valley's clearest argument that Chardonnay doesn't need heavy filtration to be stable and clean — Newton has built its reputation on this exact bottling since the 1990s. The 2016 vintage shows the house style: barrel fermentation and sur lie aging give it a rounder, slightly textured mouthfeel alongside stone fruit and citrus, with the unfiltered process preserving more aromatic complexity than a typically polished, filtered Chardonnay. It drinks richer than a bargain Chardonnay without leaning into the buttery, over-oaked style some Napa versions fall into — a good match for someone who wants Chardonnay with actual texture.

How to drink Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay

Serve around 50-55°F — a touch warmer than a basic white lets the texture and barrel notes show. Pairs well with roast chicken, lobster, or a cream-based pasta.
