2024 Estate Chardonnay
This Chardonnay was crafted to balance freshness with layered richness. Natural acidity of 6 g/L TA and a pH of 3.65 preserve lift and precision, while 100% barrel aging, including
30% new French oak, adds texture and subtle toffee notes. 30% malolactic fermentation softens the palate, lending a creamy custard character while maintaining vibrant structure and a clean, elegant finish.
Tasting Notes
Bright and expressive, this Chardonnay opens with crisp green apple and juicy pear, lifted by the fragrant zest of Meyer lemon. The palate turns silky and indulgent, unfolding layers of custard and toffee that add warmth and depth. Fresh acidity keeps it beautifully balanced, finishing smooth, creamy, and gently decadent.
Food Pairings
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken in a lemonthyme butter, seared scallops, or creamy pasta dishes like fettuccine Alfredo. Its bright apple and Meyer lemon notes complement lighter proteins, while the custard and toffee richness stands up to buttery sauces and soft, nutty cheeses such as Gruyère or Brie.
