"Subtle citrus aroma, with discreet suggestion of oak – more lees than oak in that slight mealy/creamy quality. A suggestion of clementine. The oak is equally subtle on the palate, adding a roundness in the mouth that balances the fresh acidity. Elegant, bone dry, undemonstrative but long. Likely to age well. (JH)"

"The barrel-fermented 2022 Chardonnay Ecosystem Tramonto (in a heavy glass bottle) remains primary and fresh. Barrique and seven months of lees aging are great complements to the fruit profile. It is not overwhelming or distracting. The bouquet sports orchard fruit, Golden Delicious apple, sweet almond and honey on the crisp, mid-weight finish. There is background mineral definition as well. Tramonto is the name of the vineyard with clay loam soils."
