LYNX Chardonnay Barrel Fermented 2020

LYNX Chardonnay Barrel Fermented is appreciated for its creamy, buttery texture and complex nose featuring oak, honey, and citrus. Some find it vibrant with a crisp finish, while others note a slightly bitter aftertaste. The wine's rich body and smooth symmetry of apple, mango, and lemon are highlighted, though its pairing with certain dishes may not always be ideal.

This luminous straw-hued Chardonnay showcases the finesse of barrel fermentation with an intricate bouquet of ripe pear, lemon curd, and subtle toasted almond. The nose is further enriched by whispers of honeysuckle and a delicate hint of vanilla from the oak. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of creamy texture and vibrant acidity, underscored by flavors of baked apple and a touch of flinty minerality. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering impression of citrus zest and a gentle spice. This wine exemplifies the balance and complexity of a well-crafted barrel-fermented Chardonnay.
