Spritely and vibrant, the 2021 Chardonnay Elton Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1993 and pours a bright medium straw hue. Lifted notes of lemon-lime citrus zest, crushed stones, and green apple are followed by a focused white with a balanced, ripe core within a linear and medium frame. Rounded with a delicate lacy and custardy texture and fresh notes of salted citrus lift on the finish, it’s attractive now but will be great to hold on to and drink over the coming 10 years.
