J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines Arroyo Vista Chardonnay 2024 (750ml) Mount Lofty Ranges

J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines Arroyo Vista Chardonnay 2024 (750ml) Mount Lofty RangesThe 2024 Arroyo Vista Chardonnay exhibits intriguing aromas of daffodil, Meyer lemon, ripe apple, and apricot. The rich palate texture is derived from the use of classic Burgundian techniques, such as primary and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels and weekly stirring of the lees during aging. The texture is balanced, with flavors of pear, lemon cream, a chalky minerality, and baking spices with a long, sweet oak finish. Kristen Barnhisel,
