Voss Expert tasting note
On the nose, it unfurls layers of ripe stone fruit, particularly white peach and nectarine, interwoven with subtle nuances of honeysuckle and a whisper of toasted almond from judicious oak aging.

I strongly dislike whites, specifically Chardonnay. This is one of the few I've encountered that accurately conveys flavor. Butterscotch is expertly seamless with a linger of toasted notes. If you can't appreciate the subtlety of this, then perhaps you're impaired. Great.
Jeandrr
Polished and oaky, a classic combination that works well in many situations.
Milleny
Luscious and full-bodied white wine with a mellow and satisfying mouthfeel, marked by a buttery and creamy texture, and a light richness that trails on the palate.

Shelton Chardonnay offers a complex profile balancing creamy textures with prominent oak influences, appealing to enthusiasts who enjoy rich styles. While praised for notes of butterscotch, citrus, and subtle minerality, some detect vegetal undertones in older vintages. Opinions vary on oak intensity, with lovers of bold Chardonnays appreciating its polished character while others prefer the leaner unoaked expression.
This Shelton Chardonnay presents a luminous straw hue, indicative of its youthful vibrancy. On the nose, it unfurls layers of ripe stone fruit, particularly white peach and nectarine, interwoven with subtle nuances of honeysuckle and a whisper of toasted almond from judicious oak aging. The palate is both expansive and precise, showcasing a harmonious balance of creamy texture and lively acidity. Citrus zest and a hint of minerality underscore the wine's refreshing finish, leaving a lingering impression of finesse. This Chardonnay exemplifies the elegance and restraint characteristic of its cool-climate origins, making it a compelling choice for connoisseurs.
