The 2015 Chardonnay Estate is a gorgeous introduction to the year and the Rochioli estate. Orchard fruit, honeysuckle, mint and lemon confit grace the palate in an exquisite, understated Chardonnay built on finesse and suppleness. The flavors are bright and precise throughout. This is a classy, polished wine from Rochioli.

Golden-honey colored, this wine has toasty toffee oak and full-bodied richness, with a stark layering of citrus and baked apple. Concentrated and thick, it shows its youth and should benefit with time in both the glass and in the bottle.
