Buttonwood Grove Unoaked Chardonnay 2024

Buttonwood Grove Unoaked Chardonnay is praised for its clean, zesty profile with citrus and grapefruit notes. While some appreciate its lively, dry character, others enjoy its silky, creamy texture with a hint of sweetness. The Finger Lakes region is highlighted as a hidden gem for this style.

This unoaked Chardonnay presents a crystalline clarity, both visually and aromatically, with a pale straw hue. The nose is vibrant, offering a bouquet of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus blossom, underscored by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is refreshingly crisp, with a linear structure that showcases its bright acidity. The absence of oak allows the purity of the fruit to shine, revealing nuances of lemon zest and white peach. The finish is clean and precise, with a lingering saline note, making it an exemplary expression of cool-climate Chardonnay.
