The wine’s heady perfume is mouthwatering and enticing. Extended time on the lees and biweekly stirring have developed an opulent aroma reminiscent of ripe, baked apples and crème brûlée with fresh-grated nutmeg and vanilla. This complements the underlying, expansive spectrum of orchard fruits — white peach, nectarine, Golden Delicious apple and Anjou pear. Scents of David Austin roses, jasmine and tuberoses add even more fragrance.
Highly textural, this Chardonnay shows off a decadent palate that is weighty and voluptuous. A hint of racy, sweet Meyer lemon balances a rich core, creating a harmony of opposites and leading us to a bright, lifted and lasting finish. It virtually beckons us for a second sip and promises much still to come!
