Wonderful acidity. Been a long time since I have had a chard with such intense citrus and lemongrass right up front. No wood whatsoever...the way nature intended.

A small production chardonnay from Meville (100 cases produced), this is probably the best chardonnay that I've had from Meville (other than their Inox series, which in a great year is an awesome wine). This sees some oak but not overdone and is nicely offset by just enough acidity (pretty surprising considering that the fruit was harvested on November 8 and sports 15% alcohol - don't know how Greg Brewer does it!). Terrific juice!
