Bethany Wines Blue Quarry Barrel Ferment Chardonnay 2023

A barrel fermented Chardonnay in the richer, mouth-filling style and it does carry it well. Yellow peach, ripe melon, quince paste, citrus, almond meal, almond biscotti. Palate is well composed and smoothly textured with good balance achieved between ripe fruit, vanillin oak and some lively acidity. Love the finish here, it’s perfectly sunny and uplifted, taking the wine with it. The finish lingers. Should live well should you choose to put some years on it, otherwise, I would be enjoying its charms right now.
