Fashion goes through cycles with vintage becoming modern and contemporary becoming stale. Mannequins follow those trends too; the vintage having personality, the contemporary unable to express—all the while, the mannequin stays relevant. In similar ways, Chardonnay is going through its own evolution; the butter-bombs of the past are giving way to nervy, acid-forward expressions of the varietal. Staying relevant and being true to our style is the goal of Mannequin—a balanced form of Chardonnay that isn’t overly oaky but has the trendy nuance of our times.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES: Glowing in the glass, the yellow gold core flutters as the pale straw rim swirls. Immediate aromas of Meyer lemon, jasmine, yellow chrysanthemum and a hint of fresh cut pineapple and Maldon sea salt come from the glass in layers. On the palate, a silky and opulent entry of juicy yellow peach and nectarine is balanced by a vibrantly elegant finish of lemon zest, almond praline and toffee.
