The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay other_regions_italy mineral reduction and oyster shell

mineral reduction and oyster shell scents

and it still retains some of the typical wildflower fragrance which characterises this wine’s aromatic profile

Reminds me a bit of my Russian tasting experiences

Vague whiffs of oak

Pressed in an old Vaslin press

The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay other_regions_italy mineral reduction and oyster shell(55% fruit from Sanford & Benedict vineyard and 45% from Solomon Hills vineyard), Pale gold. Musky, heady aromas of yellow plum, poached pear, lemon pith and iodine. Pliant and creamy in texture, with a restrained sweetness to its deep orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Finishes spicy and long, with a smoky mineral nuance adding bite. Josh Raynolds
