Josh Cellars Chardonnay (75cl, 13.5%)

Josh Cellars Chardonnay is a California Chardonnay made from Chardonnay grapes. It is built on a split-fermentation technique: roughly 70% of the juice ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 55°F, while the remaining 30% ferments in French oak barrels. Approximately 65% of the finished wine undergoes secondary malolactic fermentation. The 2023 vintage earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. The aroma brings Golden Delicious apple, ripe pear, white peach, nectarine, jasmine blossom, vanilla and light butterscotch. The palate is bright with Meyer lemon and lime zest, then peach, pineapple, creamy butter and vanilla. The finish is medium in length with honey, toasted oak and a clean citrus lift.
