Description
After the miniscule 2012 harvest, 2013 was a relief producing good quantities of very high quality fruit. The larger than average yields also meant an increase in the intensity of harvest in order to pick at optimum ripeness and acid balance. We are excited with the result, the high amount of extract is balanced by lovely natural acidity. The 2013 has the advantage of early accessibility coupled with long term cellaring potential. The delicate grapefruit, lime, nectarine and apple aromas can also been seen on the expansive palate that has an extremely persistent finish. This chardonnay is chosen from the best 15% of the chardonnay harvest. Anticipated best drinking 2014 to 2025.
