Flowers Vineyard & Winery Camp Meeting Ridge Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Brand new release of Flowers's highly sought-after Camp Meeting Ridge vineyard Chardonnay! Limited time only. 95 Points Wine Spectator: "This stunning wine packs a wallop of intensity and generosity yet still offers an air of elegance and finesse. Lemon confit, crunchy star fruit, fresh kumquat and orange blossom notes show wonderful purity, with lingering details of crunchy sea salt, chalk and herbs including lemon balm and vetiver. Drink now through 2038. 1,800 cases made." 95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Flowers Chardonnay Camp Meeting Ridge is a wine of pure and total class. Bright citrus, crushed rocks, white flowers, mint and a touch of slate infused the 2018 with striking layers of nuance. Light on its feet and wonderfully complex, the 2018 has so much to offer. It is also one of the most pedigreed and nuanced Chardonnays I have tasted from Flowers." This bottling is sourced entirely from Flowers' organic and biodynamically farmed Camp Meeting Ridge Estate Vineyard. Planted in 1991, these "older" vines are producing some of their most exciting and interesting Chardonnays today. Given the extremes of this site, each small block ripens at its own pace. With a brilliant golden hue, lively aromas of lemon verbena, lime zest, honey suckle, chamomile, and citrus blossom dominate the distinctive nose. The palate is precise and focused, driven by mouthwatering acidity and framed by flinty, coastal minerality – a vivid expression of Flowers' Estate vineyard.
