2023 The Hilt Estate Chardonnay

New Fall Release

Truly brimming with fruit: crunchy nectarine to dried mango. Peach nectar with lovely toasty notes. Expansive and wonderfully generous for a young Hilt Estate Chardonnay. Classic notes of Bentrock with apricot, brioche, and subtle chamomile alongside the fresh and electric Radian notes of lime zest and sea salt. The best of both worlds. Elegant touch of reduction keeps the wine graceful and poised. Impressive in its breadth, length, and ample fruit. Mineral-laden and silky. Starfruit and vanilla bean; sweet cream and biscuits. Highlights the pure refrigerated sunshine that shone upon our vineyards in 2023. The Hilt at its best. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
