Wine Description

This Chardonnay presents a bright straw yellow hue and a supple, inviting profile. The nose is lifted with zesty aromatics of salted citrus, lemon peel, and white flowers, accented by hints of honeydew melon and a touch of butterscotch. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and refreshing, revealing layers of crisp apple, juicy pear, and orange blossom honey. A silky mouthfeel, achieved through traditional batonage, is balanced by a vibrant acidity and a delicate mineral streak that carries through to a long, smooth finish.
