The bouquet is perfumed with pear and apple, vibrant lime and mealy nuances. Intense flavours layer a creamy textured palate with a fine mineral backbone. Dried pear and apple flavours combine with stonefruit, citrus and subtle French oak. Flavour intensity persists along the length of the palate completing this fine elegant chardonnay. Enjoy this wine now or watch it gracefully mature for up to 10 years.
