2017 The Hilt Old Guard Chardonnay
Tropical, perfumed and pure. Lifted nose with guava, feijoa and gooseberry. Honey notes and a green edge reminiscent of fresh herbs (sage and mint). Terpene-like nuance. So inviting and captivating. Chalky and bracing on the palate with pink lady apple and laser-like acidity. A blend that wows with its precision and individuality. Lithe and savory. Long and so refreshing. Finishes with touch of oyster shell and salt. A fascinating and unique wine in this world. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
