🏰 The 2022 Hudson Chardonnay from Carneros is a 【delicate and detailed expression of this renowned vineyard】, offering a nuanced profile that sets it apart. From the thin, rocky soils of Hudson Vineyards, this Chardonnay presents a bright, youthful pale yellow hue. The nose is vibrant with white flowers, lemon peel, chalk, mint, and crushed rocks, alongside honey-drizzled pears, fresh nectarines, and grapefruit oil. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly coiled with vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavors, supported by a crisp backbone and silky texture, leading to a very long and energetic finish. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: This elegant Chardonnay would be superb with steamed garoupa (清蒸石斑), baked lobster with cheese (芝士焗龍蝦), or even a rich chicken and abalone soup (雞煲翅). For Western cuisine, consider richer seafood like pan-seared scallops, roasted chicken with herbs, or creamy risotto. 🥂 Fit for event: Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special lunch, or a gathering with friends who appreciate nuanced Californian Chardonnay. Serving: Drinkable now, but will benefit from another year or two in the cellar. Serve chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F).
