Adelaida Chardonnay HMR Estate 2007
Adelaida Cellars
Immediately approachable in its youthful exuberance, this Chardonnay conjures up sea shell and vanilla bean aromatics, yet delivers expansive texture in its rich mouthfilling viscosity, finishing with a complex mix of lime zest, crisp apple fruit and flinty minerality.
Wine Information
These 34 year old Chardonnay vines lie in a cool microclimate on the north side of windy Peachy Canyon Road on Paso Robles’ mountainous Westside, part of Adelaida’s HMR Estate Vineyard. On their own roots they are affected by the native calcareous soils, whose alkaline chalkiness reduce their vigor, allowing miniscule yields of one ton of fruit/acre. Extremes of chilling night-time marine air from the nearby Pacific Ocean give the ripe fruit a bracing natural acidity to accent the limestone mineral terroir. Cool, dry winter weather added the additional stress of low moisture in the porous soils, further contributing to low yields and small berries with high fruit definition.
