Chardonnay boasts toasty vanilla and spice due to time spent in seasoned French oak barrels during fermentation. 11 months of barrel aging, stirring frequently to active the lees, creates an elegant fullness and creamy texture on the palate. In the glass, the wine is both creamy and crisp, with flavours of golden pear, vanilla, Meyer lemon and a hint of minerality on the long finish. Enjoy over the next one to three years with soft cheeses, fresh crab, or roasted pork loin.
