Hidden

2021 Chardonnay

The 2021 Hidden Chardonnay is expressive and vibrant that opens with enticing aromas of ripe apple and pear fruit, complemented by a focused bouquet of orange blossom and ripe melon. These flavors carry through on the palate, revealing a beautifully balanced and elegant wine that delivers a firm richness of citrus blossom. This single-vineyard Chardonnay is bright, clean, and brimming with the full spectrum of citrus notes, culminating in a medium-long finish.
