HAMILTON CHARD
Elegant cool-climate Chardonnay with striking mineral tension
This tightly structured Chardonnay exhibits a beautiful mineral-driven profile with elegant pear, white peach, and subtle oatmeal complexities. Bright natural acidity carries the wine through a long, dry, and exceptionally textured finish with a faint hint of saline complexity.
