Adelaida HMR Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

The 2022 Chardonnay HMR Estate Vineyard was barrel fermented and matured for nine months in 30% new French oak.

The medium-bodied palate boasts expansive, hedonistic, mouth-coating flavors, a balance of energetic acidity and a long, flavorful finish. Drink date: 2025-2035. Score – 95.
