Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Testarossa / Brosseau Vineyard
This is the most remniscent of Chablis among Testarossa’s new Chardonnays. It’s a minerally, chalky wine, bone dry and with lots of acidity, which makes it racy and clean. But it also has a solid core of ripe oranges and limes. It’s fine to drink now, and could even develop mushroomy bottle complexity over the next six years.
