This Chardonnay from Leyda's top vineyard sites does not undergo malolactic fermentation, to maintain its bright, nervy, lean, Chablis-like acidity, which is balanced by the creamy, oatmeal character from ageing in oak barrels. Delicious already, this promises to develop further with bottle age, assuming you have the self-control not to open it now!

Fruit is selected from top, Pacific-facing sites in the coastal Leyda Valley. No malolactic conversion to preserve freshness, while the texture is rounded out and complexity added through barrel-ageing.

95/100 - GOLD medal - Lavish apricot, nectarine and golden pineapple aromas steep in the luxurious creamy, toffee texture, counterbalanced by the focused citrus acidity and delicious flinty, saline finish.
