Merchant's description

Ridge Estate Chardonnay 2023 is a distinguished Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation in California. Established in 1962, Ridge Vineyards is known for its commitment to sustainable farming and non-interventionist winemaking practices. The 2023 vintage benefited from a lengthy, cool growing season, contributing to this wine`s structure and mouthfeel. Flavours of crisp apple and citrus zest emerge alongside subtle minerality. The wine exhibits a firm acidity, balancing its fruit-forward profile. A nuanced finish reveals hints of white peach and a delicate touch of grapefruit pith.
