Tasting Notes:
The wine opens with a delicate bouquet of ripe stone fruits, including peach and nectarine, complemented by subtle citrus and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet elegant, with a smooth, creamy texture that supports the rich fruit flavours. Notes of ripe apple and lemon zest add depth, while a touch of oak lends complexity without overpowering the wine’s natural character. The finish is clean, with a refreshing acidity that enhances the wine's balance and brings out lingering flavours of citrus and vanilla. A beautifully structured Chardonnay that captures the essence of organic viticulture.
