The Chardonnay from Black Stallion Estate Winery opens with a bouquet of yellow apple, crème brûlée, and subtle hints of apricot, pear, and oak. On the palate, it reveals tantalising flavours of citrus, dried apricot, and pineapple. Sourced from Los Carneros, this Chardonnay contributes bright acidity, citrusy notes, and a lean backbone to the blend, while the grapes from warmer regions add a fuller-bodied, ripe character. The wine offers vanilla aromatics from oak aging, along with a floral perfume from the fruit. It presents ripe fruit flavours, balanced acidity, and a rich mid-palate weight, resulting in a complex, multi-layered wine with a lingering finish.
