2023 "Le Souvenir" Chardonnay

Sierra Madre Vineyard

"Now in its 17th vintage, this Chardonnay comes from a cherished parcel of Wente Clone in Santa Maria, the site of my very first Chardonnay. It offers layered notes of Meyer lemon, Asian pear, and Red Delicious apple, complemented by a touch of vanilla and warm baking spices.  Bright acidity balances the wine’s depth, complexity, and richness, leading to a long, refined finish." - Paul Lato
