A wine that often falls under the radar among Etude's lineup is the Chardonnay. The 2021 Chardonnay Grace Benoist Ranch, a mix of several clones grown on generally loamier portions of the estate, is barrel fermented in older barrels, with no malolactic fermentation. It's gently floral, with delicate scents of white peaches and fresh limes on the nose, while being medium to full-bodied but streamlined on the palate, with mouthwatering acids and a long, zesty finish.
