This 2024 Wild Boar Chardonnay was crafted with fruit from Charlottesville. The wine is a stunning example of chardonnay. It has beautiful almost iridescent appearance with a light white/yellow color and a platinum halo.  On the nose the wine has distinct aromas of pear, lemon, apple, hints of honeydew and the freshness of fuzz on an underripe peach. On the palate we enjoy the lovely apple, pear and peach and a bright clean acidity.  As the wine finishes, we are rewarded with a hint of bright acidity, which wanes and there is creamy vanilla with a hint of lemon pith. Without a doubt the wine shows the freshness of the varietal. The lovely creamy vanilla we experience on the palate and finish is certainly attributable to the oak in which the wine was elevaged.  Pairing this wine is easy - shellfish - oysters, clams, mussels, shrimps. Grilled swordfish. Roasted chicken is a really great pairing - Sushi is a great match and for vegetarians, all kinds of grilled vegetables like carrots with feta. Salads – are great! Cheeses - Soft and creamy cheeses like Brie, Camembert, Mozzarella and Ricotta.  Drink now through 2027. Serve this wine a bit on the chilly side – 50° - 52°.
