Martin Woods Pearlstad Vineyard Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills, USA 2021 Oporto nuanced Pauillac shows off itsA saline and stunning Chardonnay from the Eola Amity's Pearlstad Vineyard. Made in an oxidative style, with no sulphur for the first six months of the 14, it spent in barrelaromas of candied lemon peel, seaspray and beeswax notes. The palate shows excellent minerality, tension and verve. Racy notes of early season stone fruits accent the wine's mineral core. Apricot skin and cut pear lean into crushed chalk and sweet bee pollen. 95 pts Decanter
