NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Goose Bay Chardonnay is a delicious creamy wine with a certain freshness to it.The nose shows hints of lemon zest, white almond blossom and butterscotch. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, with flavors of ripe peach plus a juicy acidity that keeps it refreshing. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of minerality and a hint of creaminess. An excellent wine, this wine should age gracefully for couple of years.
