2022 STRATA Chardonnay

Fermented in neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel, this wine offers just a touch of oak character that frames the bright, fruit-driven expression. Notes of yellow apple and ripe melon on the nose are carried through on the smooth, nicely weighted palate, complemented by Meyer lemon, juicy peach and lime characteristics. Richer hints of crème brûlée and nutmeg add depth and textural contrast, rounding out this beautifully layered wine.
