Description
A pale lemon colour, the aroma is fresh and lively with frangipane, vanilla and cream fraiche intertwining with the enticing scents of nectarine, citrus and apple flesh with a dusting of spices and honeysuckle. A mineral-edged acidity upon entry, this mid-bodied breezy Chardonnay exhibits notes of crushed biscuits, lees and juicy orange segments. An oatmeal creaminess in the mid-palate continues to the long finish with a lick of vanilla on the conclusion.
Food Pairing
