A broad, opulent wine framed by acidity and oak structure. On the nose, lemon curd, creme brulee, pears and baking spices. The rich texture has mouthwatering acidity and a long finish. Full-bodied. Drink or hold.

Intense, aromatic and vibrant, with a core of lemon curd and lime sherbet, plus seamless, mouthwatering details of citron, white peach and lemon verbena that show crushed rock minerality. Comes together in harmony on the long, impressive finish, where accents of ginger and shortbread linger. Drink now. 665 cases made.

This focused and intense Chard delivers aromas of tart pineapple, lemon peel, white flowers, and chopped green herbs on the nose. The palate brings driving acidity with flavors of pithy citrus, green pear, chalk, and cinnamon lingering through the finish. Drink this with grilled fish or crab.

The 2023 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard caresses the palate with apricot, lemon confit, white flowers and brisk saline overtones. Delicate and medium in body, with lovely persistence, the Durell Chardonnay is quite attractive. This is an especially understated Chardonnay from Durell.
