100% Chardonnay (“Old Wente” and Calera selections) grown on the Hyde vineyard on the eastern edge of the Carneros sub-region of the Napa Valley. The Chardonnay site has a south by southeast exposure, with soils of shallow loam over clay pan. Vine age is between 25 and 37 years. The fruit was harvested between 27th August and 12th September. The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, of which 20% were new. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
High-toned aromas of mandarin blossom and lemongrass frame a core of zested meyer lemon and Freestone peach. This wine shows focus and precision, yet surprisingly balanced opulence. Crushed seashell minerality flirts across the palate and accentuates the fresh-picked pear and Braeburn apple flavours. Finishing with warming clove and a hint of gunpowder and flint, this wine impresses from start to finish. Its balanced structure promises enjoyment in its youth but also decades of ageability.
