{"product_id":"ridge-vineyards-estate-chardonnay-santa-cruz-mountains-2023","title":"Ridge Vineyards Estate Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eSourced entirely from the Monte Bello estate vineyards on fractured limestone soils high in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this is a Chardonnay that rewards attention. 2023 was one of the longest and coolest growing seasons in recent years, with a drawn-out harvest that preserved varietal character while promoting the mineral and citrus accents typical of the site. The nose is poised and complex, with poached pear, lemon curd and a gentle vanilla note from judicious oak. After barrel fermentation, the wine spent nine months on the lees, giving the palate a lovely creamy texture that is kept honest by bright, saline acidity and real mineral drive on the finish. A seriously impressive bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Nicholson Wine Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57007341764986,"sku":"18503","price":79.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/7146\/6141\/files\/Ridge-Chardonnay.png?v=1782386441","url":"https:\/\/highburyvintners.co.uk\/products\/ridge-vineyards-estate-chardonnay-santa-cruz-mountains-2023","provider":"Highbury Vintners","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
