“Croissant with cooked apple, lemon crud and pie crust. Full-bodied and layered with plenty of phenolics. Butter cookie with hints of salt. Flavorful finish. Serious chardonnay. Drink or hold.”
“The 2022 Chardonnay Aurae was barrel fermented and matured for 12 months in 25% new French oak. It has alluring scents of apricot, jasmine and struck flint. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, savory flavors balanced by vibrant acidity, and it has a long, nutty finish. 125 cases were made.”
