Goldschmidt Vineyards Singing Tree Chardonnay 2022

Goldschmidt Vineyards Singing Tree Chardonnay 2022 is a bright and elegant white wine that showcases the cool-climate character of the Russian River Valley. This vineyard, located in the southwestern portion of the valley, benefits from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and morning fog, which allows the grapes to retain high acidity while developing full aromatic ripeness. Unlike the heavy, buttery style of some California Chardonnays, Nick Goldschmidt crafts this wine to emphasize freshness and fruit purity.
On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of golden apple, ripe pear, and lemon curd, accented by delicate floral notes and a hint of vanilla bean. The palate is medium-bodied and crisp, showcasing a clean, mineral-driven texture with flavours of white peach and citrus zest. A portion of the wine is aged in French oak to add a subtle creaminess and structural depth without overpowering the vibrant fruit, leading to a long, refreshing finish.

91 Points - James Suckling

Notes of toasted bread crust, cashews and praline with subtle stone fruit and a tropical character underneath. Medium- to full-bodied, spiced and nutty with a polished texture and saltine undertone. Compact and lengthy. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
