NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Te Mata Elston Chardonnay is a delightful expression of the varietal, offering an inviting bouquet of ripe citrus, honey, and toasted hazelnuts.On the palate, it is medium-bodied and creamy, with juicy acidity and flavors of green apple, white peach, and toasted almonds. The finish is long and pleasant, with a hint of minerality. A perfect choice for any occasion.
