Tasting Notes
Spier Signature Chardonnay 2024. On the nose, lively citrus notes, including grapefruit and lemon, take center stage, gently accompanied by yellow apple, ripe pear, and subtle peach. A delicate wisp of vanilla and soft butterscotch emerges, hinting at its lees aging and a touch of oak. In the mouth, it feels creamy and medium-bodied, with its fruit components layered with orchard and stone-fruit flavors, complemented by a clean minerality and balanced acidity. French oak lends texture and a hint of vanilla but never dominates. The finish is polished and refreshing, with lingering citrus zest, a hint of sweetness reminiscent of crème brûlée, and a refined note of wet stone that leaves a lasting, satisfying impression.
