The Chalk Hill 2023 Estate Chardonnay offers a beautiful bouquet of apple pie, baked bread, pear, peach, honeysuckle, flint, and vanilla. The palate displays excellent weight and creamy smooth texture with crème brûlée, pineapple, baked tart, and nutmeg carrying it through the finish.
The Chalk Hill 2023 Estate Chardonnay captures the vibrant, complex and classic character of our estate-grown grapes. We are dedicated to making exceptional Chardonnay, and no detail is overlooked. In the vineyard, focused planting of the ideal clone on each vineyard block, managing yields for optimum ripeness and balance, and the work of a dedicated crew are among the keys to our success. Chardonnay is a winemaker’s grape, molded into its most interesting self by native yeast fermentation and aging in carefully chosen French oak barrels and frequent lees stirring. It is a labor-intensive wine, but the rewards are most certainly worth the hard work and attention.
100% Chardonnay, 100% French oak, 42% new Barrels. Aging: 9 months.
Complex aromas of preserved lemons, lanolin, beeswax and minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with a creamy texture and laserlike acidity, showing creme brulee, yellow apples and orange blossoms. Well-balanced and stylish. Drink or hold.
Round, ripe aromas of roasted pear, nectarine, toasted hazelnut and vanilla drive the nose of this classic Chardonnay. The palate is decadent and viscous, with rich flavors of baked apple, ginger, white flowers and cinnamon lingering with bright acid and plenty of tension for aging. -T.R.C
