2022 Le Macchiole Paleo Bianco

Le Macchiole's 2022 Paleo Bianco (a blend of mostly Chardonnay with Sauvignon Blanc in a supporting role) offers a broad sounding board of orchard fruit and white peach with pinpoint accents of Golden Delicious apple, crushed stone and candied tangerine. The bouquet never fully goes into sixth gear, although there is ample texture and structure throughout. Ultimately, Paleo Bianco appeals to the palate more than it does to the nose per se.
