2019 Bethel Heights Estate Chardonnay [WA95][JS93]

"The 2019 Chardonnay Estate has detailed scents of fresh quince, white flowers, roasted almonds and flinty tones, offering up more nuance over time. Medium-bodied, it has a satiny texture and layer after layer of floral fruit on the extended finish, its fresh acidity calling you in for another sip." 

"A blend of five parcels, this has attractively flinty lemons, pears and white peaches with hints of freshly baked biscuit and spicy oak. The palate has a very juicy, lemon-juice and lemon-pastry core with bright acidity and a smoothly layered finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"For the Estate Chardonnay Bethel Heights makes their picking decisions with tension and vibrancy over opulence and richness, as they believe this gives them the best expression of their sense of place. The 2019 vintage was cool, and the resulting wines are bursting with energy and vigor. This wine will benefit from cellaring for at least three years and/or decanting a few hours ahead of time."
