Stylish, elegant and wonderfully fragrant. Offers jasmine, tarragon and wild fennel pollen notes, with peach, apricot and guava accents that are generous but restrained as they surround a fresh thread of acidity and a freshly grated ginger detail. Hints of white pepper and crushed rock minerality linger effortlessly on the finish. Drink now through 2038.
Beautiful aromas of marzipan, lemon cream, white blossoms and pear orchard. Medium- to full-bodied with a silky texture and mouthwatering acidity, especially in the finish. Textured and energetic with lingering flavors of citrus and shortbread. Drink or hold.
2024 FIDEM Estate Reserve Chardonnay
FIDEM (fee-DEM) is our estate reserve chardonnay, from blocks F and E, the oldest blocks on the property, planted in 1988. In Spanish, F + E spells 'fe', meaning faith in English, and Fidem in Latin, a representation of our farming and winemaking philosophies: faith in the grapes and vineyard, faith in the winemaker, and faith in those who share our story.
