The 2020 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard prances out with showy notes of pineapple upside-down cake, lemon meringue pie, and lime cordial, followed by suggestions of allspice, candied ginger, and mandarin peel. The medium-bodied palate is electric with intense tropical and citrus fruit layers, supported by a racy backbone and a suggestion of creaminess to the texture, finishing long and spicy.

Intense aromas of apricots, dried pineapples, lemon curd, crushed shells, praline and flint. Cooked pears too. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity and excellent phenolic tension. Focused, layered and refined. Long. Drink or hold.
