Fabulous colour & intensity of aromas
Cameron Douglas, MS
Description
Blood Orange, Butterscotch, Oak
"Fabulous colour and intensity of aromas. Scents of ripe peach and vanilla, butter brioche and Brazil-nut-butter, there’s a lees and barrel ageing complexity, youth and energy. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate with textures from tannins and acidity adding contrast and freshness. Fruit core remains yellow stone fruits and citrus with nut and butter qualities. Balanced and well made, ready to drink with complexity and length. Best from mid to late 2025 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2024
This distinguished Chardonnay exudes presence and finesse. The palate is wonderfully mouth-filling with intense aromas of orange blossom tropical fruits and butterscotch notes, all intertwined with peach and pomelo flavours in harmony with fine French oak seasoning, leading to a subtle butterscotch, apricot and cashew finish.
Food Pairing: Instantly appealing, enjoy now or with slow cooked pulled pork and sweet potatoes.
