Main Divide Chardonnay 2023

Crafted in a traditional Burgundian style, the 2023 vintage was fermented with wild yeasts in large French oak puncheons and matured on lees for added texture and flavour. Natural malolactic fermentation occurred in spring, enhancing the wine’s roundness while retaining its fresh backbone of acidity.

Bouquet:
Fragrant aromas of white peach, nectarine, and citrus are lifted by notes of honeysuckle, almond, and subtle brioche. A flinty mineral thread adds savoury complexity.

Palate:
Generous and silky, the palate brings together flavours of orchard fruits, lemon curd, vanilla, and roasted hazelnut. There’s a lovely creaminess through the mid-palate, balanced by crisp acidity and a long, refined finish.

Food Pairing:
A brilliant match for roasted chicken with lemon and herbs, grilled salmon, creamy mushroom risotto, or fettuccine Alfredo. Also great with soft cheeses or a classic pumpkin gnocchi.

Cellaring Potential:
Delicious now but will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 4–5 years, gaining further richness and depth.
