2019 Chardonnay

The 2019 Chardonnay sensorial journey begins with vibrant and lifted aromas of red and golden delicious apples, pineapple, Meyer lemon and tropical notes with subtle floral hints of honeysuckle and blossoms.  Following are notes of spice, baked apple pie, fresh Danish and graham cracker crust.  The aromas are mirrored on the palate, beginning with bright and lifted flavours of lemon tart and fresh pineapple juice, evolving into richer characters of apple crumble and crème brûlée.  The texture is elegant; rich, full and delicately creamy with a long balanced crisp finish.

This Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented and aged in French oak for 11 months, with only about 20% being new oak.

Pair with seared scallops, corn fritters, Caprese salad, Niçoise salad, Lobster pizza, roasted chicken, harder cheeses (Manchego, Parmesan, Pecorino), or asparagus/prawn/manchego risotto.
