Tasting Notes
On the nose, this Chardonnay delights with aromas of crisp apple, juicy pear, and the tropical allure of rock melon, complemented by soft citrus nuances. The palate is fresh and smooth, with flavours of ripe orchard fruits, including melon and peach, alongside a subtle touch of nectarine. A delicate note of lemon curd adds richness, while a hint of cinnamon spice emerges on the finish, providing a pleasant complexity. Medium-weight and gently juicy, this wine offers a delightful balance of fruit and freshness, leaving a clean, dry, and satisfying finish.
