Pale lemon with flecks of gold, this Chardonnay harnesses a full range of flavour, all the while remaining agile, composed, and cohesive. From its enticingly sweet notes of marzipan, poached pear, vanilla, sage, and candied peach to the crisp aromas of lemon curd, orange blossom, mandarin, and citrus pith, this wine treads a graceful line between confectionery tones and ripe citrus fragrance. The palate is lithe, revealing shimmers of exotic fruit while being led primarily by a pink grapefruit acidity, culminating in a dry finish with hints of lime and subtle vanillin oak.
