The word Karia is derived from the Greek word meaning 'graceful', & this sums up the style that has been aimed for in the making of this Chardonnay. Around 70% barrel fermented, with 30%-new French oak maturation for 9 months. Generous & complex on the nose, which abounds with notes of lemon, orange blossom, fresh apples & toasted brioche. Mouth-filling & delicately spicy, but supremely elegant & refreshing. Drink with fine poultry or seafood, or with matured brie & other creamy cheeses.
