The 2015 Chardonnay Old Guard is bright, saline and beautifully focused throughout. Lemon peel, white flowers, salt and chalk imbue the 2015 with notable freshness to play off the sheer intensity and depth of the fruit. This is another compelling wine from The Hilt.

The 2015 Chardonnay Old Guard offers up notes of lemon meringue, honeysuckle and peach blossoms with suggestions of baking bread, marzipan and hay. Medium-bodied with a lovely crisp backbone, the palate yields plenty of citrus and savory layers with a long, chalky finish.
