Description
Colour: Pale Straw. Nose: A finely poised, cool climate Chardonnay showing impressive freshness and poise. The nose opens with lifted notes of sherbet and citrus, underpinned by chalky minerality and a distinctive saline edge reminiscent of sea kelp. With air, it evolves into delicate florals, layered with orange zest. Palate: The palate is beautifully composed, balancing vibrant acidity with a core of nectarine and blood orange brightness. A fine line of tension carries through, complemented by a savoury salinity. The texture is elegant and lightly creamy, framed by a dry, chalky finish. A refined, moreish expression with excellent energy and length.
Food Pairing
Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.
