Ponzi Chardonnay 2021 Vintage

Introducing the 2021 Ponzi Laurelwood Chardonnay, an exquisite white wine from the prestigious Willamette Valley, available in a 75cl bottle. This Chardonnay embodies the elegance and innovation that Ponzi Vineyards is renowned for, crafted from grapes grown in the distinctive Laurelwood soil that imparts a unique mineral complexity to the wine.

The 2021 vintage shines with a brilliant clarity and offers a refined flavour profile. Aromatically, it presents an enticing blend of fresh pear, crisp apple, and a hint of lemon zest, complemented by a subtle whisper of jasmine and vanilla from careful ageing in French oak barrels. This introduction sets the stage for a palate where fruit and oak integrate seamlessly.

On tasting, the wine reveals layers of complexity with flavours of stone fruit and melon, accented by a creamy texture that is balanced by a vibrant acidity. The mid-palate introduces a slight nuttiness and hints of brioche, leading to a clean, prolonged finish that echoes with nuances of spice and toasted oak.
