ANICCA chardonnay
2022 Anica chardonnay
Aromas of sourdough and pear compote are studded with hints of powdered sugar, white flowers, and exotic wood. The wine enters the mouth as an oscillating vortex of firm acidity and sweet but firm peach and Meyer lemon. There is a symbiosis of acidity and texture. The density of the concentrated fruit and lees round the acidity’s edges, bring buoyancy and spring and keep the texture agile and active. The midpalate exhibits a delicious mélange of fresh and cooked fruit; tart apple, poached pear, lemon marmalade, and kaffir lime. These are densely packed onto a frame that is moderately broad but long. Interwoven in the fruits are hints of toast, sweet oak, and baguette crust. The finish is a persistent beam of lemon essence and steely acidity.
