A recent endeavor, Sealionne released their first wines only a few years ago. Well, it’s either beginner’s luck or they are on to something. Having tasted two of their Pinot Noir releases from the 2022 vintage, and now this stellar Chardonnay, I suspect it’s the latter. A poised and elegant Chardonnay, this will not appeal to those looking for buttery opulence. Instead, this restrained rendition delivers a finesse-filled combination of green apple-like fruitiness mixed with a touch of minerality. Uplifting acidity in the finish magnifies its appeal.
