Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Chardonnay from Three Sticks opens with a pineapple and white peach bouquet with notes of ginger and lime. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, bright and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is tart green apple and stony minerality blend with notes of pineapple, grapefruit pith, and lime. I also detected hints of orange zest and ginger. The finish is dry and refreshing. The Tasting Panel would pair this Chard with (raw bar) oysters. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Originating from the rocky riverbed soils of our first estate vineyard, Durell, this particular vintage will remind you of honeysuckle, nectarine, and grapefruit, accentuated by lemon curd and cucumber. A vibrant wine with a round, mineral core and just the right amount of acid to finish. Truly the perfect wine to kick off springtime.
