About the Hidden Bench Estate Organic Chardonnay 2024
The Hidden Bench Estate Organic Chardonnay 2024 comes with a stunning golden hue. On the nose, green apple, peach preserve, white flowers, and flint make themselves known. On the palate, it is the structure and complexity that you note first. A mineral base, lemon peel, Asian pear, and subtle pistachio notes. This wine packs a long and balanced finish that is a blend of ginger and pear. This Chardonnay is also unfined and unfiltered which provides a texture that makes you go back for more.
The Hidden Bench Estate Organic Chardonnay 2024 can be purchased from the winery directly for $33.75, and yes, they do ship!
