Plumpjack - Chardonnay Reserve 2023 (750ml) Orvieto ClassicoThe cool vintage preserved the brighter, fresher, more delicate aromatics of the Chardonnay grape and retained a vibrant, mouth watering acidity, allowing them to craft a Chardonnay of great complexity, purity, and precision. The nose opens with notes of lemon, lime, Granny Smith apple, and wet stone. This is layered with rich yet delicate aromas of cantaloupe, honeydew, nectarine, and honeysuckle aromas. The oak in the wine just slightly shows
Ripe Merlot-dominant aromas of juicy macerated raspberry unfurl with hints of pencil lead
The juice is fermented in stainless steel after settling
Also typical of Clone 7
tight and focused
We believe that decades of Napa winemaking experience will allow us to create a better bottle of wine at a better price point than what’s generally in the market today
Extractions were gentle so as not to pick up any greenness or bitterness from seeds

is situated near the Ciron river below Preignac
depending on the features of the grapes
the 2014 will drink well with minimal cellaring
