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.
