Full bottle 1,346 g. Fruit sourced from Four Winds vineyard. Pale lemon. The nose is so different from the Helen Chardonnay from the same vineyard! Waxy, full and quite oaky with rich custard and vanilla notes. The palate is also fuller and more textured with a weighty mid palate and a long finish. It’s a beautiful wine but with a tad less finesse than the Helen. (SCJ)
The 2023 Chardonnay Phoebe is dusty and floral, with nuances of ginger and lime-tinged green apples forming its bouquet. Round textures and juicy acidity soothe as ripe pit fruits and a twang of candied citrus excite the senses. Flinty mineral tones linger as the 2023 tapers off wickedly fresh and floral, leaving a sensation of liquid stone.
