Description

2023 is a very restrained release for Hildegard. Opening with subtle notes of jasmine and vanilla, crisp white peach and apple. The wine slowly builds on the palate without ever becoming a ‘bomb’. A soft round texture but lifted by the crisp acidity. This is a wine that is great today but will be better tomorrow!

Critics reviews

Billy Norris 96/100

My favorite wine in this tasting, the 2023 White Hildegard Estate speaks entirely in its own voice. This blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Aligoté is a rich, reductive, old-school California white that's unabashedly forward and confident but also completely unique. Flint, orange oil, sweet spices and vanilla create a very Chardonnay-like impression with tons of weight and impressive body, but this wine tastes more like Au Bon Climat than anything else. Intensely singular. Just fabulous.
