Cattleya 'Beyond The Threshold' Sonoma Coast Chard '21

From extreme coastal vineyards, this Chardonnay presents a pale straw hue and electric aromas of green apple, wet stone, and sea spray. The palate is laser-focused, with razor-sharp acidity carrying flavors of citrus, pear, and a distinctive saline minerality that scored 95 points. Aged 12 months in neutral oak with no malolactic fermentation, it showcases Sonoma's cool-climate potential. Perfect now with raw shellfish or aged Comté, this will develop fascinating petrol notes over the next decade.
