MORE INFORMATION:
Colour – Pale golden straw
Nose – Lemon zest and peach blossoms are supported by hazelnut and buttered toast underpinned by a rich minerality.
Palate - Full bodied and buttery in character, the opulent mouthfeel is underscored by grippy tannins and an acidity that adds length and liveliness to the finish.
Food pairing - The richness of this oaked Chardonnay pairs brilliantly with the succulent fattiness of seared salmon or tuna.
