Cruse Wine Co. Chardonnay Rorick Vineyard 2023 EGLY24 Methode ancestrale means a singleThe oldest vines in the highest of places, the tiny berries produce wine of extreme concentration. The expressive nose is filled with white flowers and concentrated citrus: Neroli oil and tangerine. The weight is viscous and oily, but with a bright, cleansing acidity. A mineral palate of wet stone and earth. Ready to drink now, but could age for another 5 10 years.
