2018 Gundlach-Bundschu Estate Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, USA (750ml)

TASTING NOTE:

Waxy and reductive at first, this white offers ample layers of apple, lemon rind and oak, with a balanced approach to ripeness and richness. Crisp acidity floats throughout, complementing the deeper concentrations of fruit and oak.

WINEMAKER'S NOTE:

In a world of Chardonnay lovers and haters, we are humbled that the style driven by our Rhinefarm Vineyard fruit appears to bridge the gap as the insatiable demand for us to produce more of this beloved Chardonnay continues. Aromatic and bright with lemon rind, early harvest melon, jasmine blossoms, and minerals this medium-bodied Chardonnay is full of juicy white nectarine and key lime balanced by zesty acidity and a clean finish belying its ample mouthfeel and texture. Perfect for sipping, quaffing, pairing and changing opinions.
