Tasting Notes:
On the nose, the Obsidian Chardonnay 2020 greets with refreshing citrus notes, followed by delicate layers of white peach and subtle roasted cashew nuts. The palate is lively and fresh, with a generous mouthfeel that balances the wine’s fruit-forward character. A clean, long finish rounds out the experience, leaving a lasting impression of crispness and finesse. While this wine is drinking beautifully now, it will also reward careful cellaring for up to 5 years, allowing its complexity to develop further. This elegant Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with grilled seafood, roasted chicken, or creamy risotto. Its lively acidity and rounded texture also make it a perfect match for creamy cheeses, fresh salads, or dishes with delicate citrus-based sauces.
