Tasting Notes

With new clonal plantings of Chardonnay in their second year of production, we were able to blend some extra ripeness and richness with the fresh limestone vibrancy of the existing vines. The result is an exciting Rays Road Chardonnay showing white flowers and lemon on the nose, with rich texture and vibrant acidity on the palate.

Notes of lemon zest, melon and orange blossom are underpinned by toffee, cream and oak spice. There's richness on the palate. The oak is sculpted into the wine. There's beautifully tingly acidity and a long finish.

Mangoes, lemon curd, baked apples, hazelnuts, custard and some salted caramel. Ripe and creamy with a full body. Tropical fruit and buttery layers balanced by bright acidity.

Delivers dried pineapple, peach and dried apricot flavors that have an appealing fleshy, juicy texture. Reveals details of orange blossoms, fennel seed and lemon zest that linger wonderfully on the sleek finish.
