Technical Details

The 2023 vintage was beautiful, warm and sunny throughout, but with very small yields. As a result, wines are very concentrated with great acidity.

Nose: The nose of this wine is full of pineapple, nectarine, red apple, and orange blossom followed up with lemon meringue and crème fraiche. /p>

Palate: The palate has a refreshing reflection of the nose, adding lemon-curd, peach blossom, and spice, but it also showcases a mineral and wet stone characteristic that leads to the long, elegant finish.

Finish: Strong and elegant finish.

Pairing:This wine will age well for the next 5-8 years. Enjoy with brie, sole meuniere, and lemon-roasted chicken or Turkey.

The 2023 The Fifty Chardonnay is a blend of three different vineyard with four different picking dates. 100% of this wine was fermented in concrete with spontaneous fermentation. Once fermentation was completed, the wine was aged on full lees in concrete for 9 months. After lees-aging, it was racked, lightly filtered, and bottled on September 2th, 2024.
