Description
How it tastes
Guava, lime blossom, and subtle gun flint intertwine beautifully with restrained oak, offering a voluptuous and finely textured Nelson Chardonnay of exceptional focus and allure. Aromas of guava, lime zest, and white florals merge with subtle flint and delicate vanilla oak nuances, revealing both energy and elegance. Refined and expressive, showing layers of citrus, white peach, and mineral tension. Lees ageing and full malolactic fermentation impart a creamy mouthfeel balanced by crystalline acidity and precise oak framing, leading to a long, intricate finish. Contains sulphites.
