Tasting Notes
The 2021 Hestan Chardonnay opens with fresh aromas of vanilla, pineapple, honeysuckle, and bright citrus, accented by notes of lemongrass. Rich yet vibrant on the palate, it reveals layers of lemon cream, guava, green apple, and ripe pear, balanced by a precise thread of acidity. The finish is long and harmonious, lingering with hints of Honeycrisp apple, soft tropical fruit, and elegant minerality.
