The 2022 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard, from 32-year-old vines, was harvested on August 15, a week earlier than ever before, grape grower Andy Smith notes. Frost in the spring drastically lowered Chardonnay yields at Hyde (only 475 cases were made), although what remained was "immediately fantastic," Smith says. It opens with the seashell and saline touches characteristic of this vineyard, before unfurling exotic scents of lemongrass, stone fruit, toast and smoky flint. The light-bodied palate is youthfully coiled and electric. Its saline-tinged flavors are complemented by shimmery acidity and a silken texture, and it has a very long finish.
The Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is elegant, with very pretty scents of saline, white blossoms, quince and hazelnuts. The palate is medium-bodied, satiny, layered and nuanced, with bright freshness and mineral character offering tension on the long, uplifted finish.
