The Orin Swift 2023 Mannequin Chardonnay opens with a luxurious aromatic profile of ripe pear, golden apple, and grilled pineapple intertwined with notes of vanilla bean, toasted brioche, and a hint of citrus blossom. On the palate, it is full‑bodied and opulent, showcasing the richness that defines the Mannequin style while maintaining a vibrant line of acidity that keeps the wine lifted and energetic. Crafted primarily from Chardonnay sourced from top sites across California, the wine often incorporates small amounts of complementary white varieties to enhance texture and aromatic complexity, resulting in a layered expression that balances tropical fruit, creamy oak influence, and a long, polished finish.
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with dishes that match its richness and depth. Butter‑poached lobster, seared scallops, or roasted chicken with herbs amplify its creamy texture, while dishes like truffle risotto, crab cakes, or pasta in a lemon‑cream sauce highlight its interplay of brightness and weight. Soft cheeses such as brie or triple‑cream varieties also complement its lush, fruit‑forward character.
