The Lane Vineyard Estate Chardonnay 2024

In a word: refined. Sometimes, it only takes one word to describe a wine such as this, a wine that reveals its cool climate nature beautifully citrus bright and delivers it across impressive filigree-fine acidity.  Aromas of citrus, nectarine, white peach, lime zest with a touch of hazelnut. The palate is taut and compact, really elegant, layered and, yes, refined. The oak component, 49% new French oak, comes in nicely integrated, contributing to the wine’s texture and length, which is impressive. Equally so, the depth of white stone fruits, citrus, grilled nuts and almond nougat complexity still on the rise.
