This wonderful flint aroma is not typical of a Chardonnay, it is unexpected and yet extremely neat. Of course, the Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay has more to offer than just flint aromas, far from it, there are also citrus peel aromas, fresh apple notes, and delicate spicy components. Beautiful brioche notes crown the whole, giving the bouquet that certain something and depth. The wine has found itself and is beginning to open up, revealing what it has to offer, and that is no small thing. The wine moves powerfully across the palate, crystal clear, pure, and straightforward. It's incredible how much energy this wine has! It maintains this great balance until the very last moment of its long, salty finish. A magnificent, juicy wine that, in terms of character, does not necessarily have to be located in the USA, not necessarily!
