HdV Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard 2021

A beautifully composed Chardonnay that showcases vibrant energy and precision. It balances ripe tropical notes of pineapple, papaya, and a touch of muskiness with tart green apple acidity and a signature saline-mineral backbone. There’s a lovely interplay of tangy spice (think ginger) and smoky oak, leading to a nutty, spicy finish that lingers with freshness. Its structure, balance, and richness are deeply satisfying, calling to mind the finesse of classic Mount Eden Chardonnays. Superbly built and delicious.
