The Calling Dutton Ranch Chardonnay 2022

An expressive version, with generous notes of ripe tropical fruit, including papaya, grilled pineapple and mango. There's also a wonderful sense of restraint in the way the acidity and supple texture play with the flavors. Touches of vanilla shortbread, candied ginger and orange blossoms add fragrant grace notes. Drink now. 9,100 cases made.

There's citric freshness and chalky minerality on the nose of this wine, while the palate displays an herbaceous tension with lemon, green apple and pear flavors. A few years in the cellar might soften the more prominent edges on display here.
