Benchland Chardonnay

Chardonnay

Hand-harvested at first light and pressed whole-cluster, this is Chardonnay built for the table rather than the cellar. We ferment in concrete egg and a handful of older barrels, stir the lees lightly, and let the limestone speak for itself.

Tasting notes

In the glass

Pale straw with a green glint.

On the nose

Meyer lemon, white peach, crushed oyster shell, a wisp of toasted hazelnut.

On the palate

Taut and saline, with a creamy mid-palate from light lees contact.

The finish

Clean and mineral, snapping shut with citrus.

From the table

Grilled halibut with brown butter and capers.
