This Chardonnay displays a brilliant light golden straw colour. The aromas are complex with intense tropical fruit and lemon/lime notes, hints of freshly baked bread and toasted almonds with flinty undertones. There is a certain amount of delicacy and restraint on the palate. The flavours are compact and balanced, entering with toasted and flinty notes which broaden into lemon zest, honeydew and marmalade flavours. Finishing with flavours of creamy brioche, marzipan and limes and a long gripping finish. This wine drinks beautifully now but should age well until 2016.
