An exuberant version, with white peach, pear, apricot and orange blossom notes on a sleek and juicy frame. Touches of grated ginger, toasted sesame seed, marmalade and wild fennel give the long, mouthwatering finish plenty of energy.

The 2022 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard is bright, finely sculpted and dynamic in the glass. Light on its feet and nuanced, the 2022 has so much to offer. Tangerine peel, passion fruit, white flowers and chalk offer a beguiling interplay of overtly tropical flavors and vibrant, mineral-laced inflections. The airy, lifted finish is quite lovely.

Winemaker Notes

The wine's lush profile welcomes you with lemon meringue and subtle hints of clove and cinnamon, creating an intoxicating aroma. Flavors of tart candy, baked apples, and spices unfold, offering a harmonious blend of sweetness and spice. This is a vintage to remember, as the richness and mouthfeel leaves a lasting impression.
