Chardonnay – 2021; Robert Clay Vineyards; Mason, Texas

Behold…Mason County Chardonnay! This young vintage can be quite fruit froward, so be prepared to be dazzled before that first sip hits those tastebuds. Just 23 cases of this estate Texas Hill Country AVA wine were made. At 12 months of neutral oak aging, it does present some respectable flavors of green apple with a hint of hazelnut on the finish. However, there are also unique distinctions of tart lemon peel and defined minerality.  The acids are quite bright, so your palate will be well entertained by this medium bodied white wine.  It is ready to please if you want to drink now, however, keep a year or two and savor the softer flavors of citrus, apple, and pear in the future. Either way, enjoy!
