2023 OLG ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe Vineyard’ Chardonnay Santa Barbara County

VIN93-95 The 2023 Chardonnay Our Lady of Guadalupe shows what this site is capable of in a more favorable year. Bright yet dense, the 2023 possesses notable freshness, vibrancy and cut. Apricot, orange peel and passion fruit emerge in the glass. This is an exotic, deep, explosive Chardonnay.
Estate Notes: An alluring pale liquid gold shimmers in the glass with abounding aromatics from the get-go. Ripe Meyer lemon, apricot, crème brulée, wet stone, fresh palmier, brioche and a touch of Marcona almond. On the palate, the 2023 OLG Chardonnay is deeply layered with notes of lemon custard, white peach and orange pith that ripple across the mid with tension and density. Concentrated through the finish, the wine closes with a touch of praline and mouthwatering acidity.
