Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This barrel fermented chardonnay
displays strong varietal characteristic
of apple and citrus flavours that are
accompanied by deep and complex
aromas of butterscotch and caramel.
The acidity balances a strong palate
weight and carries the wine on its way
to a complex and lingering finish.
