House Of Cards The Royals Chardonnay 2023

This is a beautifully crafted chardonnay made using whole bunch pressing to a combination of new French oak and concrete eggs. It was all wild fermented with some wild ferment in the malolactic component. It's created a fine linear expression with a flinty minerally thread taking the palate to a long finish. Nougat, popcorn and lemon curd with a slice of quince paste bring their contributions to the chalky dry finish.
