2023 Antinori - Umbria Bianco IGT Bramito Chardonnay
A waft of roasted nut on the nose enriches the palate's lively range of steeped apricot, Mandarin orange peel, pastry cream and chamomile notes. Racy acidity gives the complex profile fine definition and carries this on the well-spiced finish. Drink now t...
2021 Aubert - Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Powder House Estate (1.5L)
Planted in 2013 to a mix of Hyde Old Wente and Mount Eden, Aubert's 2021 Chardonnay Powder House features prominent notes of toasted hazelnut and crushed stone atop a base of white peaches, lemon-lime notes and cooling herbs. It's medium to full-bodied an...
2021 Aubert - Chardonnay Napa Sugar Shack Estate (1.5L)
The 2021 Chardonnay Sugar Shack is a classic Mark Aubert wine. Creamy and ample in feel, the 2021 is super-expressive right out of the gate. Soft, silky contours frame lemon confit, white flowers, tangerine oil and lightly honeyed overtones that appear wi...

2022 Aubert - Chardonnay Carneros Larry Hyde & Sons (1.5L)

2022 Aubert - Chardonnay Sonoma Coast UV-SL
The 2022 Chardonnay UV-SL hints at powder-sugared brioche on the nose, backed by lemon-lime notes and some apple-ish fruit. From multiple rootstocks and clonal selections, it's full-bodied and expansive on the palate, generous, rich and long. Don't be foo...
