Cartlidge & Browne Chardonnay 2022 (750 ml)

Cartlidge & Browne Chardonnay 2022 is a delightful expression of this versatile varietal, capturing a harmonious balance of fruit and oak. On the nose, it reveals inviting aromas of ripe apple, pear, and citrus zest, enhanced by subtle hints of vanilla and toasted almond. The palate is medium-bodied with a creamy texture, showcasing flavors of juicy orchard fruits, lemon curd, and a touch of pineapple. Gentle oak aging imparts a soft, buttery undertone and a hint of spice, adding depth without overshadowing the fruit’s natural vibrancy. The wine’s bright acidity ensures a refreshing and well-balanced profile, leading to a clean, lingering finish with a delicate mineral edge.
