Emblem Chard 750ml

The 2019 Emblem Chardonnay springs from the glass with aromas of vivacious pink grapefruit, white peach and golden apple. Scents of fresh ginger, orange blossoms, beeswax and shaved almonds develop over time. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers super-intense citrus flavors and a satiny texture, finishing with beautiful mineral notes. The beginning of the 2019 growing season was defined by copious rainfall and late soil moisture. The long, warm summer saw very few extreme heat events, with foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant & expressive wines. The long, relatively mild finish to the season, not without its moments of unpredictability, helped to preserve freshness and finesse in the fruit with abundant hang time teasing out great color, structure, and tannins. Yield size is slightly below average. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and ample texture promises an amazing vintage.
