Rita Hills terroir, showcasing a complex blend of white peach, lemon zest, lavender, white flowers, and fresh herbs. Its dynamic profile includes aromas of baked croissant, almond flour, and kumquat, while the palate reveals a tense, energetic texture with hints of marzipan, apricot brioche, and peach cobbler. The wine has a structured finish with a refreshing chalky texture and classic Bentrock minerality.\nPraised for its balance and depth, this Chardonnay demonstrates the influence of the 2018 vintage, with a more luscious texture and denser fruit due to the maturity of the vines. Vinous (95) calls it the most powerful wine in the range, while Jeb Dunnuck (94) and Wine \u0026amp; Spirits (93) highlight its elegance, minerality, and vibrant finish. This wine is both captivating now and promises to evolve beautifully with time in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinobridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43819578785826,"sku":"VB-1-238676","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/9504\/0290\/files\/238676.jpg?v=1747834088","url":"https:\/\/research-park-wine.myshopify.com\/products\/the-hilt-estate-bentrock-vyd-chardonnay-2018","provider":"Research Park Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
