Freemark complement their fame in Cabernet with an offering in Chardonnay from the Napa Valley, where higher altitudes and cooling fog on the valley floor ensure a long ripening and weighty but refined style. Huge presence and power is balanced by florals and savoury herbs to produce a truly complete Californian Chardonnay. Drink now or cellar a while.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Our 2021 Napa Valley Chardonnay is intended to be the best of both worlds stylistically. The nose opens with rich and layered aromas of pear, mandarine, tuberose, vanilla and oak spice. The palate is met with flavours of brioche, apple pie, lemon curd and fresh pineapple. It has a creamy texture reminiscent of creme brulee with a finish that is bright and complex with incredible length."
93/100 Anna Lee C. Iijima, Decanter (2021 Vintage)
"From three vineyards in the Napa Valley, Ahmann Vineyard, Huichica Hills Vineyard and Rancho Sarco. The wine was 85% barrel fermented in 40% new French oak barrels, 15% stainless steel for ten months. Slick with layers of sweet cream and melted butter, this rich, opulent wine characterises that classic California sumptuousness but with a freshness of pear and quince flavours. While unabashedly soft and hedonistic, it's an elegant, smartly sculpted wine with a cooling, salty finish."
92/100 Jeb Dunnuck (2021 Vintage)
"These wines are now made by Kristy Melton. The Chardonnay now goes partially through malolactic fermentation, aged in 45% new French oak, and it's a richer yet beautifully balanced Chardonnay. Notes of lemon oil, orange blossom, and honeysuckle, with just touch of toastiness, are followed by a wine that’s beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, and layered on the palate, with loads to love."
93/100 Wine Enthusiast (2021 Vintage)
"Tempting spicy, earthy, toasted oak aromas lead to densely layered pears, almonds, wood char and crème brûlée flavours that fill the palate and echo for minutes on the finish. The wine is full-bodied, almost thick in texture and powerful in flavour."
