Tasting Notes

This Chardonnay displays a medium straw colour with green tints, offering vibrant aromas of melon, peach, and lime. These are complemented by a complex backdrop of roasted cashews, almonds, crème caramel, and honey, with a delicate note of lightly toasted oak. On the palate, the wine has a full body and a crisp acidity that enhances the bright peach and melon flavours. The finish is rounded with a hint of caramel and subtle oak, and a touch of tannin that is well-integrated and balanced by the fruit’s generosity.
