Aromas of lemon zest, white grapefruit, pear, white flowers, and crushed stone lead into a beautifully textured palate layered with citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle lees complexity. Fermented in neutral oak barrels, the wine balances freshness and depth with remarkable precision, finishing with a long, steely mineral edge. Crafted from some of the region’s oldest Chardonnay vines, this cool-climate Chardonnay combines elegance, tension, and old-vine concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 94\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"808\"\u003e“I love the interplay of restrained ripeness, cool minerality and delicate oak.

There’s a spicy hint of oak on the nose, along with hints of custard, stone fruit and citrus. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied and silky-textured, with a long, elegant finish.” - Joe Czerwinski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1kxqlpp\" data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1126\"\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1438\"\u003eForge Cellars is recognized for crafting terroir-driven wines from Seneca Lake, focusing on freshness, minerality, and vineyard expression.
