This fresh and concentrated Chardonnay is one of the pillars of the Quails’ Gate portfolio. Winemaker Nikki Callaway has the style nicely dialled in. Taking full advantage of a ripe crop, the majority of the blend was tank fermented with a portion aged in neutral oak barrels to enhance texture and complexity. This Chardonnay is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with concentrated apple and peach notes nicely countered by bright lemony acidity that carries through to a fresh and focused finish. Recommended. 10,600 cases.
