mineral reduction and oyster shell scents

The 2005 Comtes de Champagne Rosé is a wine of contrasts

salty depth and luminous freshness

and it still retains some of the typical wildflower fragrance which characterises this wine’s aromatic profile

Subtle chocolate notes from oak

The Hilt, Old Guard Chardonnay other_regions_italy mineral reduction and oyster shell(55% fruit from Sanford & Benedict vineyard and 45% from Solomon Hills vineyard), Pale gold. Musky, heady aromas of yellow plum, poached pear, lemon pith and iodine. Pliant and creamy in texture, with a restrained sweetness to its deep orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Finishes spicy and long, with a smoky mineral nuance adding bite. Josh Raynolds
