The 2023 DAOU Chardonnay presents enticing scents of pear, passion fruit and pineapple augmented by hints of honeysuckle, white peach, nutmeg and buttered toast. The nose is rounded out by nuances of crushed hazelnut, hibiscus, papaya and vanilla.

Suggestions of casaba melon, citrus zest and toasty oak persist on a clean, balanced finish.
