Far Niente Chardonnay 2024

"This has a good core of fruit with an underlying power that will unravel with time in the bottle. Aromas of lemon confit, oak spices, vanilla and pastry. The rounded, phenolic palate is cut with a bright line of acidity, leading to a generous, concentrated finish."

"This clear and pale straw-colored Chardonnay from Far Niente opens with a light lime and gentle oak bouquet with hints of faint grapefruit and lemon verbena. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, and seamless. The flavor profile is a tasty gentle oak and lemon verbena blend with notes of chamomile tea and Anjou pear. We also detected hints of almond paste. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. We would pair this Chardonnay with a chilled crab cocktail. Enjoy - Ken & Mark"

On the palate, the wine offers flavors of vibrant lemon and lime zest, hints of vanilla, and delicate baking spices. The wine has a silky texture, balanced acidity and flavors, and a long, polished finish."
