Ballard Lane Chardonnay 2018 Central Coast

Rich and lively, this clean and focused white exudes a perfume of toasted coconut and cashew butter rimmed with lemon chiffon. Cedar meets minerality on the palate as toasted almond, fennel root, and crisp pear soften the tartness that arises from the finish of lemon peel. Fermented in stainless steel (100% malolactic) and aged six to eight months in 25% new oak.
