Note di degustazione
The 2018 Chardonnay Monte Bello is a wild, exotic wine. Lemon confit, crushed rocks, apricot, floral-infused honey and a touch of reduction all run through the 2018. This wonderfully complex, nuanced Chardonnay has a ton to offer. Time in the glass brings out lovely silkiness to balance things out.

Pale gold with a hint of green. Smells of pure and bright lemon curd with a hint of melted butter. Rich melted butter and lemon curd mix with a touch of butterscotch and bergamot. Excellent acidity and silky texture. Rich but not heavy, this is classic Californian Chardonnay at its best, without a heavy wood influence despite barrel fermentation and sur-lie ageing for 15 months. (AY)
