Chardonnay (Oaked) 2025
$45.00
Tasting Notes
Hand-picked estate grown Chardonnay was pressed directly to new Darguad et Jaegle light medium toast French oak barriques for barrel fermentation on total solids, monthly batonage and eight months oak maturation to produce a complex and seamless chardonnay. Stone fruit aromatics of white flesh peach and nectarine, a palate of oatmeal, almond kernel and vanilla bean from the oak and a lingering, gentle acidity to finish.
