Description
Colour: Light gold. Nose: The immediate impression on the nose is one of elegance. The aromatics build intrigue with a laser-focused and complex bouquet of orange blossom, quince, nutty macadamia and a twist of lime. Palate: Seamlessly integrated with profound purity of fruit that builds from a tight, chalky, and beautifully textured core of Granny Smith apple to orange blossom and delicately candied lemon peel. All this succulent fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and nuanced by a riverstone mineral tension followed by a host of white floral notes, savoury almond and oyster shell minerality. The perfect wine, imbued with delicate richness and seamless quality from exceptional sites, coaxed to limitless potential.
Food Pairing
Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.
