2019 Foley Estates T Anchor Ranch Chardonnay, Sta. Rita Hills · 미국

The 2019 T Anchor Chardonnay opens with gorgeous aromatics of caramel and honeycomb. Flavors of jasmine, ripe pineapple and yellow peach are incredibly balanced. The finish lingers with toasted hazelnut and graham cracker nuances. The grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed and transferred to tank following harvest. After a day of cold-settling, the juice was inoculated and racked to 40% new French oak barrels. It then underwent regular stirring of the lees for added texture and complexity. All lots were kept separate throughout vinification and aging to ensure character, distinctiveness and quality. After 18 months in barrel under cool cellar conditions, the wine was bottled.
