Nice on it's own; paired with duck risotto well.

Not overly oaky, very nicely balanced slight fruit nose and taste with warm vanilla undertone.

Balanced and not fruity. A little less like the traditional Chardonnay where it wasn't overly oaky.

Smells like candied orange and vanilla. Sweet, buttery on tongue, with vanilla and cranberries.
