Zuma Zuma Winemaker's Selection Chardonnay 2017

Zuma Zuma Winemaker's Selection Chardonnay is appreciated for its refined and welcoming nature with an elegant earthy undertone, making it suitable for everyday drinking. While the price is reasonable, some feel it lacks finesse and nuance.

A luminous straw hue introduces this Chardonnay, offering a bouquet of ripe stone fruits, notably white peach and apricot, interwoven with subtle nuances of toasted hazelnut and a whisper of flint. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance between its creamy texture and vibrant acidity, showcasing layers of lemon curd and a hint of brioche. The oak integration is deft, contributing to a lingering finish marked by a touch of minerality. This wine exemplifies the finesse and elegance characteristic of premium Chardonnay, aligning it with esteemed cool-climate expressions.
