NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Really great, full-bodied yet fresh Chardonnay with aromas of toasted nuts, tropical fruit, butterscotch, honeysuckle and a lemony character.Just a hint of 'struck match' character, like old school white Burgundy. Pairs wonderfully with creamy dishes, poultry, hard cheeses. It should be drunken young or at least within the next four years.
