This pristine Chardonnay offers a fresh bouquet full of citrus, apple, pineapple and pear. The restrained, yet elegant oak influence imparts notes of almond and vanilla while a balanced acidity highlights the citrus notes on the palate. This wine finishes softly, allowing the beautiful balance of fruit and acidity to shine.

The 2020 growing season featured a mild start to summer which allowed the grapes to ripen slowly. The region saw much warmer harvest temperatures which helped accelerate ripening and bring the grapes’ natural acidity into beautiful balance.
