Butterscotch, vanilla cream and lemon curd flavors are at the core of this plump and juicy version, with details of jasmine, candied orange peel, marmalade and salted, buttery shortbread. Despite the generous and intense flavors, fresh acidity keeps the notes fresh and light on their feet. Drink now through 2038. 900 cases made.

The largest volume wine produced by Hudson, there are more than 1,500 cases of the 2022 Chardonnay Estate, all Old Wente from four blocks, barrel fermented and aged 18 months in 65% new French oak (François Frères and Damy). Subtle toast and struck flint notes mark the nose, adding intrigue to the pineapple-like fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, ripe, opulent and creamy in feel, with a long, harmonious and even velvety-textured finish.

All shot Wente clone selection, this 2017 Chardonnay was aged for 19 months in barrel. It leaps from the glass with totally flamboyant notes of apricot tart, pineapple upside down cake and guava plus suggestions of honeycomb, allspice and candied ginger. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is electrically charged with tropical fruit and peachy layers with a laser focused line of crisp acidity, finishing very long and very spicy. 1250 cases made.
