"Old Wente clone Chardonnay, from Peay's coastal vineyards, sings of mineral intensity, with saline salt air and briny notes of grilled lemon peel. Using native yeast and a bit of battonage gives these lean wines texture. The silken mouthfeel augments the wine's lithe energy. Flavours of key lime, lemon curd, verbena, lemongrass, and oyster shell finish with crushed slate minerality.—7% new oak."
