Bright and fresh with a Chablis-esque disposition, this Dexter Chardonnay is excellent.
The wine was matured for 11 months in French oak puncheons (20% new), with 50% undergoing malolactic fermentation.
Aromas of white field flowers, lemon juice and old school lemonade get you in the mood with white-fleshed nectarines and a sizzling grapefruit acidity arresting your attention on the palate. With a captivating tension and nougat creaminess, a flirtatious vanilla custard note moves about with ease. The length and balance welcome you back with open arms time and again, yet the energy is uplifting and graceful all at the same time. That length. That shape. What a beauty!
