Cool conditions and generous hang time in 2023 yielded finely balanced wines with verve and brightness, qualities showcased in this release. This wine boasts lovely notes of white flowers, lavender, and apricot, with just a hint of marzipan. Alongside expansive stone fruit and floral tones, this Chardonnay displays fresh minerality with clean, crisp apple and bright citrus that linger on a long, flinty finish.
