2021 Chardonnay
2021 marks our third release of Chardonnay which is certain to become a mainstay of the Unsworth Portfolio. The cool climate expression of this most noble grape is dry and poised on the palate with an elegant integration of fruit. In the glass it reveals complex notes of spice, nutty and chalky minerality. More thrilled we could not be at the addition of Chardonnay to our winery!

The freshness and minerality of this Chardonnay makes it magic with dishes like Halibut in a rich savory curry, seared tuna with a tangy salsa or salad, and simple seafood like oysters on the halfshell.
