Note di degustazione
The 2018 Chardonnay Gap's Crown Vineyard is crafted differently than the other Chardonnays in the Three Sticks portfolio. From Dijon clone vines, it is barrel fermented and aged 11 months in oak with lees stirring, and it goes through malolactic fermentation. It has a pretty savory character, with toast, flint, honey and hazelnuts anchored by white peaches and floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is silky in texture and provides a great foil to the richness of the nose, with bright, gently leesy fruits and a long, juicy finish.

Moving to the three Chardonnay, the 2018 Chardonnay Gap's Crown Vineyard comes from a remarkable site on the Sonoma Coast and has a rich, textured style as well as classy notes of honeyed orchard fruits, chamomile, buttered lemons, and toasted bread. There's always an exotic edge in the Chardonnays from this site, and this is a complex, subtle, nuanced Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming 5-7 years.
