Duckhorn 2022 Migration Chardonnay

The 2022 Migration Chardonnay is sourced from cool-climate vineyards, where coastal influences help preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. The vintage delivered well-balanced fruit with vibrant natural acidity, allowing for a refined and expressive style. Grapes were whole-cluster pressed and fermented with care, with a portion undergoing barrel fermentation to build texture and complexity. Aging in French oak adds subtle richness and structure while maintaining the wine’s focus and precision.

Tasting Notes:
Fresh and inviting, the wine opens with aromas of lemon curd, ripe pear, and green apple, complemented by notes of white flowers and subtle baking spice. The palate is vibrant yet rounded, showcasing bright citrus and orchard fruit layered with gentle creaminess and well-integrated oak. A clean, polished finish lingers with hints of minerality and citrus zest, delivering balance and elegance in a classic cool-climate Chardonnay style.
