DAOU Reserve Chardonnay 2022
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast. A premium, barrel-fermented Chardonnay from DAOU’s estate vineyards. Bright, focused and textural, it marries citrus and white stone fruit with subtle toasted oak and mineral undertones. Elegant and precise, showing both richness and lift, with a long, refined finish.
Taste
Pale gold. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach and ripe pear, complemented by gentle vanilla and baking spice from French oak. The palate is layered and creamy yet balanced by fresh acidity, with a subtle mineral thread running through. Finishes long, clean and polished.
