{"product_id":"ridge-estate-chardonnay-2022","title":"Ridge Estate Chardonnay 2022","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"34\" data-end=\"587\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eA seriously impressive Chardonnay from Ridge Vineyards, made entirely from estate-grown fruit in the \u003cstrong data-start=\"135\" data-end=\"159\"\u003eMonte Bello vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e of California's Santa Cruz Mountains. The cool, elevated site gives the wine plenty of freshness, while whole-cluster pressing, native fermentation and 15 months in mostly older American oak give it plenty of texture and depth without turning it into an oak bomb. The 2022 vintage is rich and concentrated, but still carries the bright acidity that makes Ridge's Chardonnay so distinctive. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"550\" data-content-reference-end=\"569\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"1007\"\u003eThere's loads of ripe fruit here, with pineapple, lemon curd, pear and apricot alongside brioche, flint and gentle vanilla spice. The palate is rounded and generous, with a lovely combination of creamy texture, citrusy acidity and subtle savoury oak, finishing long, clean and slightly mineral. A big, serious California Chardonnay, but one with plenty of freshness underneath it. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"952\" data-content-reference-end=\"984\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridge Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58633900130685,"sku":"744442479009","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/8953\/3422\/files\/capture_2026-09-04-15-52-31-0000.jpg?v=1788537310","url":"https:\/\/thebeerhive.co.uk\/products\/ridge-estate-chardonnay-2022","provider":"The Beerhive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
