Tasting Notes

This 100% Chardonnay was all estate harvested and then aged in 3rd and 4th fill barrels for 8 months. Being lightly oaked the wine has a delicate nose displaying aromas of citrus, stone fruit, flint, and white flower, with light hints of brioche and caramel. The palate is lively with a bright acidity and flavors of green apple, melon, lemon peel and mandarian orange. Throughout the oak is subtle and plays a supportive role by providing structure and a long finish without dominating the natural flavors of the grape. 

This wine is ready to be enjoyed now, but will age for up to 5 years in bottle.
