Raymond Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve Selection 2019 750ml

Description

The Chardonnay “Reserve Selection” Raymond Vineyards fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit. The wine did not go through malolactic conversion, retaining a crisp style which focuses on the inherent qualities of the Chardonnay varietal. Chardonnay “Reserve Selection” Raymond Vineyards was aged for 10 months on its fine lees with periodic lees stirring, which imparted texture. Maturation took place in 100% French oak barrels, 17% new, from Seguin Moreau, Francois Frère and Orion.

Fragrant aromas of tropical and stone fruits lead to notes of honeysuckle, accentuated by a touch of toasted almonds. This is a beautifully balanced wine with bright acidity and a creamy texture with a hint of minerality on the finish.
