This
Chardonnay is a mix of 50/50 tank and wood fermented with only 20% new French
and American oak and alcohol coming in at 13.5%. Pale gold in color, this wine
opened up with aromas of ripe pears, golden apple, citrus fruit, buttery,
toasty oak and vanilla notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, slightly creamy,
fresh acidity with a nice blend of citrus and tree fruit flavours. Very good
depth of flavour on the finish, light minerality, toasted hazelnut with
lingering flavours of tropical fruit with a touch of honey. Well made stylish
cool climate Chardonnay where the use of oak is carefully restrained and well
integrated. Strongly recommended, score 89 points.
