ORIN SWIFT

Orin Swift Mannequin Chardonnay 2021

Trust your Taste

Golden apple, jasmine and citrus meet cream and fresh brioche in this Californian Chardonnay. A rich, weighty middle is balanced by a clear fresh edge and a silky, lingering finish. Try it if you enjoy generous Chardonnay that still has plenty of lift.

How this wine feels

This feels full and silky, with ripe apple and melon filling the middle. A prominent fresh edge gives the richness definition, and a mineral note carries the finish. Expect a generous, warming white with little drying grip.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
