2022 Chardonnay Bottle Image

Chardonnay 2022

$70.00 / 750 ml
Crisp and lively, the 2022 Seavey Chardonnay features aromas of lemon zest, fresh apricot, and jasmine flowers. These are joined on the pallet by flavors of lemon meringue, almond paste, mandarin peel, and pastry crust, and of course finishing with the precision of our signature minerality. This wine offers a vibrant acidity beautifully balanced by hints of seashell and a light oak structure.

Winery Info
SEAVEY VINEYARD
Production from the estate's 40 planted acres is approximately 3,000 cases annually. This small-scale production allows them to maintain consistently high standards in both the vineyard and the winery. They've never bought a grape and they farm their land with their in-house crew. Stewarded by Jim Duane, their winemaker, and also Philippe Melka, their consulting winemaker. Seavey's goal is to create masterful, soulful wines that exude a sense of place and age gracefully.
