Xanadu Reserve Chardonnay 2020

$93.00 SOLD OUT
/ 750 ml
Pristine fruit aromas of fresh pears, white fleshed nectarines, and lemon/lime characters with underlying hints of white flowers and wet stone adding to the wonderful purity of fruit. The palate is medium bodied and tightly coiled offering pear puree, white fleshed stone fruits and zesty grapefruit character. The fruit purity is complimented with subtle talcy, textural elements and a quartz-like minerality adding to the structure. The underlying fruit power, and the bracing natural acidity reflect the season, providing drive to the wine and focusing it perfectly to a crisp lingering finish.

Creating expressive, regional wines of uncompromising quality, Xanadu takes an intuitive approach to winemaking, holding a deep respect for the vineyards — where true quality begins. Their philosophy is to guide the wines through to the bottle, rather than "beating them into submission".
