SAMSARA Chardonnay Bentrock VY 2020

The nose of this captivating Chardonnay is intricate and unique, blending rich fruitiness with mineral-like slate notes, resulting in an elegant vibrancy. Aromas of golden fig, stone fruit, baked apple, quince jam, preserved lemon, hazelnut, and sea shell intertwine, creating a complex bouquet. On the palate, the wine is luxuriously plush, with slate-like characteristics reminiscent of Chablis, alongside hints of lemon zest providing a sharp contrast to the core flavors of baked apple, white peach, golden mulberry, and quince. Undertones of hazelnut husk and sea shell further enhance the dryness perception. The lingering finish exhibits remarkable intensity, suggesting that it pairs exquisitely with bold, flavorful entrees.
