Tasting notes

Welcoming you with the scent of warm toasted hazelnuts and crème brulée straight from the oven this wine is a perfect expression of a warm weather Chardonnay. As the wine opens up in the glass, your first sip will greet you with juicy cantaloupe and just a hint of lime with a long-lasting finish of rich supple pears, toasted almonds, and bright citrus fruits.
