Description
A wine produced from Chardonnay, which has been cultivated on the estate since 1983. Following skin contact at cold temperatures, the wine is fermented in French oak barrels. It then remains in contact with its primary lees for a few months, gaining in body and enriching its varietal aromas. Bright yellow-gold with a rich mouthfeel, honeyed texture and citrusy scents against a background of smoke and dried nuts. It has a full, rich, complex taste and can be aged for several more years due to its strength and character.
