Description
The brightly green-gold colour of the 2015 Chardonnay is a telltale sign of a pure and composed vintage. The wine offers a very high toned nose of white orange blossom, oatmeal, fresh honey and lemon zest. A deeply layered wine with a strong mineral backbone of chalk, saline ocean spray, turmeric and parmesan. This wine is truly unique in its aromatics. On the palate it is tight yet soft. Beautifully integrated oak brings roundness and a supple mouth-feel that is complemented by a racy acidity and the considerable weight of this wine.
Food Pairing
Fish, poultry, pork and game bird dishes work well with this wine. It works particularly well with creamy pastas and salmon dishes.
