Demuth Vineyard Chardonnay

Lioco does Chardonnay the right way

This is such a dynamic site. 1600ft above the valley floor, Wente clone on AXR-1 rootstock planted in 1982. This has white Burgundy nods written all over it in opening it tonight on 6/20/2019. Cheers John & Kai!

This is delish and the remaining bottles that capture this vineyard’s site expression still out there in the wild are worth celebrating.

Mineral driven with notes of lemon curd, tarragon and sea salt

John had this 7 years ago

Started off a little tart but that yielded to a mild citrus fruit and apple finish

Demuth

Kind of shy, with just a little bit of volatility, but still very well done

Crisp apple and citrus on nose. Flavors are classic apple/pear combo with stone accents. Nice texture and weight too

Linear loveliness, with just enough roundness at the end.
