Hartford Court Fourt Hearts Chardonnay 750ml

The 2021 Chardonnay Four Hearts Vineyard was barrel fermented and matured for eight months in 28% new French oak. It’s coiled on the nose with delicate scents of lemon peel, oyster shell, crème fraîche and nutmeg. The light-bodied palate pairs bright, citrusy flavors with youthful allspice tones. It has a silky texture, energetic acidity and a mineral-driven finish. Give it 3-5 years in bottle to unwind. 1,871 cases produced.
