Description
The 2023 Durell Vineyard Chardonnay is a refined expression of one of Sonoma Coast’s most celebrated vineyard sites. Rooted in the rocky, volcanic soils of Durell Vineyard, where cool coastal breezes and fog help preserve freshness, this is Chardonnay of both concentration and elegance.
The nose opens with vibrant aromas of Meyer lemon, green pear and white flowers, complemented by subtle spice and a delicate mineral character. On the palate, bright acidity carries layers of citrus, pear and hints of pineapple, while a gently savoury, saline note adds depth and complexity.
Aged in French oak, the wine balances richness with remarkable freshness, allowing the fruit and distinctive character of the vineyard to remain at the forefront. Precise, beautifully structured and persistent through the finish, the 2023 Durell Vineyard Chardonnay is a compelling expression of Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, combining energy, texture and a clear sense of place.
