Auntsfield "Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

It's rare to find Chardonnay in Marlborough, where Sauvignon Blanc is king. This example from Auntsfield, the region's oldest producer, makes a serious argument for planting more. This is a gorgeous, linear wine with pleasant reductive notes of toasted sesame and struck match to complement bright lemon and apple flavors. A great new world Chardonnay for white Burgundy lovers.
