Decanter

The Santa Barbara County Chardonnay is aged up to seven months in stainless steel with a portion in neutral barrels. This wine is exceptionally bright and lifted, offering fresh and clean aromas of lime zest, apple, and white peach. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy apple, pear, and white peach flavours, complemented by a creamy mid-palate texture. Soaring acidity provides excellent tension, leading to a refined mineral finish. The grapes are sourced from sites around Los Alamos and the estate vineyards. Presqu'ile Winery, founded in 2008 by the Murphy family, has benefitted from the steady guidance of winemaker Dieter Cronje since its inception.

Composed of North Canyon, White Hawk and pressed wine from the Presqu'ile estate, the 2023 Chardonnay is a vibrant overperformer. Powerful aromas of citrus oil and white peach fill in an otherwise bright, focused nose. The palate is deliciously succulent, concluding with a vibrant, pure finish with just enough creamy breadth. It's an impressive introduction to the solid winemaking at Presqu'ile. (ML)

The 2023 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is fabulous. Rich and creamy, it offers tons of immediacy. Apricot, chamomile, lemon confit and bright tropical notes all run through this super-expressive Chardonnay. Best of all, this is a superb value.

Brought up six months in neutral French oak and stainless steel, the 2023 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County offers orchard fruits, sautéed apples, spice, and honeyed flower notes with some background oak. Medium-bodied, vibrant, and fresh, it has integrated acidity and is a beautiful Chardonnay as well as a smoking value. Drink bottles over the coming 3-4 years. Drink 2025-2029.
