2023 Platt Vineyard Chardonnay Sonoma Coast, USA Quinta do Romeu fine mineralité and tension

fine mineralité and tension

so soft with licorice-laced red and black fruits and a long earthy finish

balanced tannins with structure to age gracefully over the next 10 to 13 years

while the palate is linear and bright

with a hint of grip from the time spent on the skins

2023 Platt Vineyard Chardonnay Sonoma Coast, USA Quinta do Romeu fine mineralité and tensionThe Estate Chardonnay is a barrel selection from across the Platt vineyard and shows the fresher side of the two inaugural Chardonnays. It opens with a hint of reduction that quickly gives way to vibrant aromas of citrus peel, lemon verbena, ripe starfruit, and soft white flowers. Fermented and aged on its lees in 35% new French oak, with just enough stirring to lend a subtle, silky texture, it stays bright, focused, and mineral driven. Decanter
