Description
Metallico’s aromatics are intense with honeydew, white flowers, and chamomile. The palate has ripe fruit flavors of peach, papaya, and pineapple. This wine encompasses a light-medium body with bright acidity and a long finish. It’s a perfect accompaniment to shellfish and lighter summertime fare.

The unoaked Chardonnay trend is abating, but versions like this one make a strong case for keeping at least a few examples in play. Sharp aromas of citrus, honeydew, guava and jasmine touch on tropicality without going overboard. The palate is remarkably fresh, offering citrus, melon and plumeria flavors.

Fragrant and floral, with notes of lemon blossoms, tangerine, apple and mango at the core, plus mouthwatering acidity that keeps the flavors fresh and in focus. Freshly grated ginger, lemon sherbet and dried pineapple elements linger. Drink now. 3,545 cases made.

The 2023 Chardonnay Metallico is an exuberantly aromatic, lithe, soft-textured, un-oaked Chardonnay. Bright pear fruit, lemon oil and tropical papaya notes open in the glass, carrying through the steely finish. I would prefer a little more energy.

As the name suggests, the 2023 Chardonnay Metallico was fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel. The nose is simple and floral, supported by tropical accents around a stone-fruited core. The palate is similarly straightforward, finishing on a soft, slightly bruised note.
