The 2019 Wingtine Chardonnay is rounded and succulent, with exciting tension and a youthful freshness. Vivid notes of crisp apple, ripe pear, and yellow citrus highlight mouthwatering acidity that engages the palate. Alluring hints of lemongrass and toasted hazelnut weave amongst softly sweet narcissus and honeysuckle, grounded by a distinguished minerality. The lively yet delicate balance of acid and sweetness on the palate ultimately culminates in a clean, pithy finish that lingers effortlessly.

“A blend of Sussmans young- vine estate fruit and chardonnay from the 1982 Heintz Ranch planting across the road, raised in seasoned oak and concrete eggs, this emphasizes the clarity and elasticity of the fruit, while oak supports the wine without flavoring it. Its herbal scents of lemon balm and comfrey accent orange-oil richness and a lasting savor.” 93 Points Wine and Spirits Magazine
