2022 Chardonnay
Aged for 18 months in a carefully selected blend of 70% neutral oak and 30% new American oak, this Chardonnay achieves a harmonious balance between varietal purity and barrel influence. Extended aging has contributed depth and texture while allowing the wine's fruit character to remain at the forefront.
The nose offers inviting aromas of lemon zest, baked apple, and subtle vanilla. On the palate, soft notes of butter and cream are complemented by bright citrus flavors and delicate oak nuances. A rounded mouthfeel and softened acidity create an elegant, approachable profile, while layers of fruit and oak provide complexity through the finish.
Well-balanced and refined, this Chardonnay showcases a classic expression of barrel-aged winemaking without overwhelming the wine's natural character.
