The 2021 Chardonnay Aequorin has intoxicating scents of white peaches, poached pears, spring honey, almond tart and spice. The full-bodied palate is bursting with tropical, honeyed flavors, and flinty nuances add complexity. It’s balanced by bright acidity and has a very long, seamless finish.

A pale silver/yellow hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Aequorin is beautifully detailed in the glass with citrus oil, lime oil, delicate flint, pure poached pear, and fresh almondine. Offering a supple, silky texture, it’s long and has a weightless, coating feel as well as underlying electricity and fantastic length. It doesn't get much better than this.
A lovely touch of wood spice introduces the 2021 Chardonnay Aequorin as fresh hazelnut, spring flowers, lime and white peach form its enticing bouquet. This mixes savory and sweet, demonstrating amazing balance and poise as ripe orchard fruits and hints of confectionary spice are contrasted by the onset of salty minerals and ginger tones. It finishes incredibly long and full of tension, leaving a crunchy sensation and nuances of vanilla spice along with a tug of silky tannins. Simply stunning.
