2023 Chardonnay

Chardonnay calls to be harvested on long, radiant days well before the season’s swan song. Heat is a near certainty, while thunderheads and cold snaps seem a distant concept. The fruit itself embodies this beaming optimism. Upon harvest, we collect thousands of tiny golden suns to be gently pressed, on a mission to bottle endless summer. The resulting wine, handled minimally in the cellar, will glow with vibrant fruit for many seasons to come.

This lithe and lifted Chardonnay is our ideal white wine. The 2023 vintage opens with delicate citrus, white tea, and white florals on the nose. Polished acidity leads into wisps of oyster shells and seafoam complexity. A subtle yet inviting profile of passionfruit, orange blossom, and lime leaf brighten and complete this supremely balanced wine.
