Mchenry Hohnen Burnside Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

There is a very strong influence of the soil and slope of this vineyard which has never been irrigated. The fruit comes off the top 8 rows at the top of the vineyard and there is also a section of UC Davis clones from another 8 rows in the middle, adding the richer pastry nougat characters. It's a rich and generous wine but it retains that fine chalky acidity. Has a slightly savoury element with some nice lemon pastry.
