Tasting Notes

This wonderful Chardonnay shows punchy and concentrated fruit, honeyed & ripe with flavours of Canteloupe melon, stewed dessert apple, wet stones and a touch of vanilla. The impression is of superb ripeness of fruit, balanced by fresh citrus acidity and a poise and power that seems almost Puligny-like. A superb wine.

Vinification

Aged in 25% new oak barrels
