Chardonnay, Carneros-Napa Valley 2018

The goal for this wine is finesse and complexity which is enhanced by using long, slow, native fermentations. From the Napa side of Carneros, this Chardonnay is a beautiful golden colour. The nose opens up with some lemon peel, pear and lemongrass notes, followed by toasted almonds and jasmine. The nose ends on a mineral tone reminiscent of gunpowder. In the mouth the wine is driven by a silky smooth texture that evolves with beautiful long acidity and a touch of sweetness ending on a refreshing mineral note.
