Description
Colour: Pale Straw. Nose: An elegant and gently expressive nose, showing a sense of refined richness rather than weight. Delicate creamy nuttiness evokes almond and subtle nougat, layered with lifted lemon and lime notes that bring brightness and definition. A faint touch of honeyed sweetness emerges alongside finely judged oak spice. Palate: The palate is poised and precise, opening with a graceful almond nuttiness and a line of zesty, citrus-driven acidity. Subtle oak spice weaves through a dry, chalky structural core, giving shape to the wine’s delicate, finely etched texture. Hints of orange peel and honeycomb appear towards the mid-palate, enhancing the sense of elegance and lift. The finish is refined and persistent, with a delicate mid-palate tension that underscores both freshness and quiet depth.
Food Pairing
Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.
