Our Lady Of Guadalupe Chardonnay, Santa Barbara 2023

Winemaker’s Notes

An alluring pale liquid gold shimmers in the glass with abounding aromatics from the get-go. Ripe Meyer lemon, apricot, crème brulée, wet stone, fresh palmier, brioche and a touch of Marcona almond. On the palate, the 2023 OLG Chardonnay is deeply layered with notes of lemon custard, white peach and orange pith that ripple across the mid with tension and density. Concentrated through the finish, the wine closes with a touch of praline and mouthwatering acidity.
