Seabold Cellars Pelio Chard 2018 750ml (No Barcode)

Pelio is muscular but lean, like an ironman competitor. The Upper Block sits above Robert Talbott’s long-famous Diamond T vineyard, and gets a perfect mix of sunlight, ocean breeze, and diurnal shift owing to its elevation. Pelio Chardonnay typically has a very sweet-tart fruit core: lemon curd, quince, and mirabelle plum. The Aguajito shale soils here give an impression of chalk and blanched almond.
