The 2017 Côte Sud Vineyard Chardonnay still embodies youthful vibrancy with citrus notes, just beginning its journey into aging. Stemming from the warm 2017 vintage, it boasts the signature voluminous shape of wines from the Côte Sud Vineyard. Exhibiting a slightly nutty note on the nose, it achieves a beautiful balance with its interplay of acidity, creaminess, and evolving texture, making it an intriguing companion to the 2012 ‘Evenstad Reserve’ Chardonnay with its nuanced spices and tobacco notes. Best enjoyed within the next five years to capture its evolving tertiary components.
