With this Chardonnay, the winemakers set out to create a wine offering a combination of the respective benefits of oaked & unoaked interpretations of the variety, using cool fermentation in tank followed by only 7 months' lees ageing in barrel. Fresh lemon & peach fruit provide the backdrop, which is overlaid with gentle notes of toasted hazelnut & vanilla. Plenty of refreshing acidity & a creamy palate texture. Drink with pan-seared fish & steamed vegetables.
