Tasting Notes
Appearance:
A gleaming pale straw colour with hints of green, reflecting its youthful vibrancy and freshness.
Nose:
Inviting and aromatic, the bouquet bursts forth with tropical notes of pineapple, ripe melon, and juicy peach, elegantly intertwined with subtle citrus undertones. There's a distinct freshness to the aroma, buoyed by creamy, lees-driven complexity.
Palate:
On the palate, this Chardonnay is textured and lively. A creamy mouthfeel-achieved through careful lees stirring-coats the tongue, balanced perfectly by bright acidity. The fruit profile is generous, uniting flavours of fresh pear, mango, and stone fruit with a gentle citrus lift. The overall sensation is both refreshing and layered, with no influence of oak, allowing the purity and vibrancy of the fruit to shine.
Finish:
Long and mouthwatering, the finish is defined by its fresh fruit character and a soft, creamy texture. Subtle mineral nuances linger, leaving a clean and elegant impression that invites another sip.
