Complex and attractive nose of grilled lemons, dried pineapples, ash, toasted rosemary, flint and salted butter. So much flavor and intensity here, yet elegant and agile and only medium-bodied, with bright acidity. Fantastic salty undertones.
Evening Land's tête de cuvée, this deeply reverberating Chardonnay is sourced from just fourteen vine rows grown on volcanic soils at the heart of the Seven Springs Vineyard’s eastern slope. While powerful in structure, it's a svelte, cutting wine with pure, concentrated lime and grapefruit flavours framed in steel and a nervy, quivering backbone of acidity.
The beauty that is Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay is on full display here. Lemon butter and toasted filbert aromas are joined by a wisp of Genmaicha green tea. Peaches with a touch of cinnamon spice cruise a crisp texture guided by bright acidity. Toasted filberts reappear on the long finish.
