2023 Bremerton Batonnage Chardonnay, Langhorne Creek

This 2023 Chardonnay is a single vineyard selection of premium fruit sourced from our vineyards at Bremerton.  Bâtonnage is a French term referring to the stirring of the yeast lees in the barrel. On the nose this wine shows lifted lemon curd with hints of stone fruit and spice. The palate is expressive and complemented by restrained oak and a creamy mouthfee and is tempered by a fine acid structure and textural finish giving the wine great length and persistence. The wine is delicious to drink now, however it will develop more complexity with bottle age. Serve slightly chilled.
