The fruit is very much the supporting cast on both the nose and palate. Beautifully nutty, savory, mineral-driven. Some lees and a little oak character adds further to the complexity. The fruit tends towards citrus and apple. Beautiful medium weight mouthfeel. Really fresh still for a 2016.

Apple and pear on the nose and pallet also very minerally with a lil butter but not overdone as I hate butter bombs but a quality chardonnay here very drinkable
