Note di degustazione
The 2022 Chardonnay Maresh Vineyard comes from a block of Dijon clone vines planted in 1991 in the Dundee Hills on a steep, south-facing slope at 675 feet of elevation. Barrel fermented and matured for 10 months in 15% new French oak, plus four months in stainless steel, it’s reminiscent of Chablis and boasts exceptionally pure aromas. It opens with flint and petrichor before blossoming to apricot, elderflower liqueur, lime peel and hazelnuts. The palate is vibrant and silky with understated layers of creamy, peachy fruit, and its linear acidity and flinty tones come together for a shimmery finish. For several days after it's opened, the Maresh Vineyard becomes more and more expressive, pointing to a long life in the cellar.

Green melon and mint give way to spring flowers, raw almonds and wet stones as the 2022 Chardonnay Maresh Vineyard comes to life in the glass. This is silky-smooth with notes of yellow apple and salty mineral tones, all enriched by an air of custard. Hints of hazelnut resonate over a coating of tactile minerals and fine tannins as a bump of residual acidity maintains freshness. Very nice.
