Rated 94
Superripe pineapple, papaya and guava aromas burst from the nose of this Chardonnay, with pithy grapefruit, sage and white pepper flavors emerging on the palate. This wine is fermented and aged sur lie in a combination of stainless steel, concrete and amphorae, preserving the snappy acidity. Fans of unoaked Chardonnay will LOVE this wine.
Wine Tasting Notes
The Durell Vineyard Chardonnay is the ultimate showcase of terroir. It is primarily composed of the old Wente clone, planted in various blocks throughout Durell. Each site expresses unique characteristics - one, on golden sandy soil atop a hillcrest, offers deep concentration, while another is situated at the base of the hillside on rocky soil which provides bright acidity and minerality. This vintage staple is a rich, luxurious wine, accented with notes of honey-lemon meringue, shortbread, and yellow apple, that is best described as a ray of sunshine in your glass.
