The 2023 Alder Springs Chardonnay is a sensory journey. Savory notes unfold first, giving way to bright lemon, delicate honeysuckle, and dogwood blossoms, underscored by hints of slate, ash, and Marcona almonds. A soft brioche note emerges after a day, complemented by its signature salty air and old-world minerality. The medium palate is both vibrant and balanced, with a mouthwatering finish that lingers gracefully. Youthful and evolving, this Chardonnay is a captivating reflection of Alder Springs.
