2018 DeMayo Chardonnay

The DeMayo Chardonnay is our quintessential “holiday season” white wine, as its fermentation and maturation in new oak delivers cozy spicebox flavors and a buttery body. The 2018 vintage opens with aromas of cinnamon apple pie, browned butter, and toasted pecan. It’s creamy body and piercing acidity ensures that this is a Chardonnay that can cellar for years (and the Kents traditionally open older vintages during Christmas dinner!) On the palate, the 2018’s acidity accentuates flavors of lemon meringue pie, granny smith apple, and ginger, with the meringue note lasting through the finish. This acidity makes it especially easy to pair with heavier dishes, and we encourage cellaring through 2025.
