2019 Darioush Signature Chardonnay

Signature Chardonnay shows remarkable harmony and balance in its youth, characteristic of the finest examples of this noble variety. From its alluring aromatic entry to its persistent mineral-laden finish.  Honeycrisp apple and Bosc pear flavors are energized by clean, bright layers of tangy citrus and stony minerality— lemon blossom, kumquat, Gravenstein apple, and apricot. Our cellar regimen of French oak fermentation and sur-lie aging lends additional complexity with hints of baking spice, creme brulee, and hazelnuts, while gentle racking preserves the wine’s integrity and nuance without fining or filtration.
