This refined Chardonnay opens with inviting aromas of peach, toasted almond, and lemon meringue pie. On the palate, vibrant notes of white nectarine and green melon take center stage, balanced beautifully by a subtle oyster shell salinity that adds depth and finesse. Aged for seven months in a mix of 20% new and 80% seasoned oak, it gains complexity without overshadowing its fresh fruit core. The high-altitude, cool-climate origins of the Orange region shine through in its crisp acidity and poised, elegant structure.
