The Sanford and Benedict Chardonnay shows clear lees influence, bright lemon acidity and firm tension, delivering concentrated flavour without weight. The texture is layered yet remains crisp, with a faint softness under its focused line achieved by earlier picking, slightly warmer ferments, large vessels and a restrained sulfur regimen, along with a brief oxidative phase to temper fruit and avoid overt tropical notes. Aged eleven months in oak and six months in steel, it presents a crisp, gently reductive profile and refined character.
