Beautiful golden yellow in color, this Chardonnay opens up with aromas of grapefruit, peach, lime peel, nutty, honey and light pineapple notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied (alcohol coming in at 13.5%), dry, good weight with a great mix of citrus, tropical fruit and lively acidity. The finish on this wine is very refreshing with plenty of citrus fruit and as a result of 11 months barrel fermentation (of which 20% was new French oak), a touch of honey and light caramel. Fans of cool climate and moderate use of oak Chardonnay will find plenty to like in this wine, very enjoyable. Score 91 points.
