DAOU Reserve Chardonnay 2022 is a premium expression of Chardonnay from Paso Robles. Fruit for this vintage is sourced from the DAOU Mountain vineyard, known for its limestone-rich soils at high elevation, which enhance mineral complexity. The wine undergoes barrel fermentation in French oak and experiences full malolactic fermentation, contributing to its stylistic depth. The nose presents aromas of citrus zest, green apple and subtle vanilla, while the palate offers a structured mouthfeel. The finish is characterised by bright acidity, which maintains clarity and longevity.
