Aromatic with ripe fruit of lemon, green apple with crème caramel and toasty oak.
The palate is rich and textured with ripe fruit and lemon tart on entry, subtle herbal notes with mandarin orange join on the mid-palate with lingering complex fruit and toasted elements lingering on the long, crisp, refreshing finish.
Bottled July 2016.
Each lot was lightly whole cluster pressed, the juice was allowed to settle for a day, then was placed into French oak barrels (25% new) where it spontaneously fermented using native yeast to add complexity to the wine. The barrels were stirred twice a month to round out the wine and build texture.
The wine was aged sur-lie for 10 months before bottling.
The 2015 Overlook Chardonnay is mouth-filling, but refreshingly crisp and balanced and makes a perfect pairing to a fettucine alfredo with grated lemon zest and a twist of cracked pepper, or with a simple grilled swordfish fillet with basil lemon butter.
