TASTING NOTE: 100% Chardonnay. Smoky marmalade and lime citrus aromas with a hint of rose petal, bergamot and clove spices. The palate is lively with lime and peach highlights, fresh acidity and creamy, buttery oak. The finish has a silky texture with a hint of sweetness and fine length. Score - 95 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2016) |
