SIXTO 'Moxie' Chardonnay

The 2019 SIXTO "Moxee" Chardonnay is an exceptional, high-altitude white wine from Washington State.

Crafted by legendary winemaker Charles Smith, this old-vine Chardonnay brings a sophisticated, Burgundian-style edge to the Pacific Northwest.

Tasting Notes: Intoxicatingly aromatic and complex, this wine opens with a fragrant bouquet of chamomile flower, lime leaf, bosc pear, and crisp green apple, anchored by a distinct limestone minerality. The medium-to-full-bodied palate delivers a luxurious, slightly oily texture balanced perfectly by vibrant, succulent acidity. Rich notes of lemon curd, beeswax, and toasted cashews lead into a long, beautifully layered finish.
