WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2023 Chardonnay showcases a combination of 4 distinct blocks from the Hudson Estate planted to Heritage Shot Wente clone. We hand select barrels from each site to create a Chardonnay that fully expresses the elegant and balanced style of Hudson Vineyards. The wine is rich with bright acidity and mouthwatering notes of citrus, stone fruit, and brioche.
TASTING NOTES:
Sleek and juicy, a generous expression of candied lemon peel, pear drop and mango puree, with details of salted caramel, dried gin- ger and plump melon, plus lingering accents of nutmeg, gingerbread and jasmine.
- Wine Spectator, 94 pts.
Generous ripe fruit like pears and golden apples resting on a relaxed, rich texture. This wine is gentle, almost sweet tasting, with Bartlett pears, vanilla bean, creme brulee and white chocolate on the palate. Drink now.
