2018 / Chardonnay

2018 Lorenzo Chardonnay

Located near the Laguna de Santa Rosa, Lorenzo Vineyard is the coldest Chardonnay vineyard within Landmark's portfolio and more often concludes our harvest each year. This cool spot and the age of the vines allow the fruit to fully ripen at a very slow pace retaining its natural acidity and the zippiness and structure for which Lorenzo is known.

Tasting notes

Pale lemon color with aromas of lemon and lime, green and yellow apple, white peach, lemon curd, butterscotch, and oak. The palate is full, with ripe citrus, apple, peach, and toasted oak on the entry. The mid-palate features savory notes of lemon curd, chamomile, and toasted brioche. Fresh acidity keeps the palate clean, balancing this wine’s richness, complex flavors, and textures through a long finish that shows sustained ripe citrus, toasted oak, and a distinct salinity.
