The 2021 Chardonnay leads with aromas of bright lemon-lime and green apple. Further notes of wet stone and brioche add to the complex nose as the wine opens in the glass. On the palate, it exhibits orange blossom, sweet floral notes, pear and stone fruit. The wine is precisely balanced with the beautiful richness from sur lie aging that matches its natural bright acidity. This wine shows well when young but will also benefit from some time in the cellar.

Additional Notes
The 2021 vintage was a welcome relief after a difficult 2020 vintage. The second year of drought conditions persisted throughout spring with very little rainfall to nourish the vines. This dry spring resulted in a reduced crop load and lower vigor across most of the vineyard blocks on the estate. Vines had lighter clusters and some of the smallest berries we’ve experienced in many years. This translates into a higher skin-to-juice ratio, allowing for very concentrated and intense wines which will make the 2021 vintage a stellar vintage for years to come.
