Description
Colour: Light gold. Nose: Gloriously perfumed, pure and precise. The first aromatic expression is one of nuttiness which then evolves to reveal stone-like minerality and chalkiness. With aeration, the floral bouquet reveals increasing complexity with notes of orange blossom and a touch of lime. Palate: Despite its concentration, it is a wine that emphasizes elegance and balance over power, feeling lively and lifted with a gentle twist of orange zest. The wine unfolds with finesse and grace on the palate with fresh persimmon, subtle earthiness and notes of almond, persisting with delicate orange blossom perfume. The vivid structure with limey acidity allows it to appear both rich and taut at the same time with intense purity. A work of art.
Food Pairing
Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.
