"Wonderfully complex, this racy Chardonnay marries vibrant Meyer lemon high notes with richer, deeper flavours of white peach and apricot. Along the way, there are lifts of floral perfume, brioche toastiness and an underlying salinity."
Winemaker Notes:
"In the Chardonnay we had gorgeous, transparent berries so full of intense aroma and flavor that more than made up for the lack of quantity. I took the precious jewels straight to press, whole cluster, and ran a very long and gentle press cycle to get all the drops. Juice settled for two days before racking to barrel off the green lees. One barrel was the newest wood I used, and we ended up with three barrels total of this incredible vintage of Chardonnay."
Alcohol: 12.5%
