2024 Gularte Oaked Chardonnay

Harvested from the Gularte Vineyard along River Road, this Chardonnay reflects the purity and restraint of our coastal growing region. The nose opens with aromas of fresh pear, crisp apple, and green pineapple leaf, framed by subtle layers of toasted oak and baking spice. The palate is clean and focused, revealing bright citrus and melon fruits that build into an elongated finish of stone and tropical fruit with well-integrated oak. A lively acidity carries the wine with poise, balancing its textural depth and mineral drive. Aged for 10 months in 25% new French oak, this Chardonnay showcases precision and elegance, a true expression of site and season.
