Cameron Douglas, MS

Description

Oak, Peach, Spice

"A lovely example with scents and flavours of ripe peaches, a creamy lactic texture, apple, cashew, vanilla and Brazil nut. Dry in a fuller-bodied expression, plenty of acidity, fruit and wood spices fine tannins and a delicious mouthfeel. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2024 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2024

This excellent Chardonnay is highly appealing, with pronounced nectarine, baked peach, rock melon, nashi pear and ginger spice flavours, finishing with subtle butterscotch notes, ensued with a touch of clove, vanilla and toasty oak, conferring a lovely creamy weight, length and complexity. 

Food Pairing: Full bodied and perfectly balanced, enjoy with pan fried fish and a caper butter sauce, or cellar judiciously for 3-4 years.
