Description
Discover the epitome of Chardonnay excellence with the 2022 Applejack Vineyard Chardonnay, an extraordinary wine from a rare 2-hectare parcel of this prestigious vineyard. Established by Ray Guerin in 1997 and situated in the serene Gladysdale region, this Chardonnay is a true gem. Whole-bunch pressed and aged in a mix of new and older French oak puncheons, it showcases an exquisite balance of rich, complex flavors. The wine dazzles with a bright green-gold hue and an enchanting bouquet of orchard fruits, grilled nuts, white jasmine, and marine notes. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of white stone fruit, citrus, and nuanced nutty oak, finishing with a remarkable length and a spicy, chalky touch. With rave reviews, this Chardonnay is not only a standout of its vintage but also a wise investment for your cellar, offering both immediate pleasure and the potential for further aging.
