Enfield Wine Co, Watson Ranch Chardonnay 2021 Germany

Enfield Wine Co, Watson Ranch Chardonnay 2021 GermanyIn the hills south of Napa, above an old quarry, Watson Ranch is coastal and cool with a strong mineral component that makes it one of the most distinctive sites in California. If it's possible for a wine to be elegant, racy, tropical & powerful at the same time this is it. A burst of citrus and sea spray form a powerful nose of delicate aromatics, and bracing acidity belies a sense of umami and depth. Truly exceptional is the finish that balances

The long finish is refined and at the same time this rose both charms and seduces

A 2015 white blend that is the result chiefly of several skin-fermentations

The palate is rich and mouth enveloping yet maintains a core freshness and is dry and thirst quenching

Enjoy it on its own or with soft cheese

The Chardonnays of Evening Land have quietly earned a loyal following

Pale yellow in colour

dusty mineral lift

crushed flowers and spices

On the palate rich

Attractive nose of red berries

The palate has a lovely light chewiness to it with kindly integrated oak

it's smooth and silky with seriously good balance and fine chalky tannins
