Tasting note
Central Coast Chardonnay should offer pear, lemon and baked apple, with a delicate floral lift above the fruit. Wente's 2023 Morning Fog is expected to feel rounded and smooth, balanced by bright acidity that keeps the orchard flavors clear and the texture from becoming heavy. Its listed peak lasts through 2027 within a horizon to 2029; a clean finish should bring citrus zest and a faint mineral note into focus.
