Waterford Estate Chardonnay Single Vineyard 2013

Mineral driven aromatics supported by citrus blossoms and lime cordial, as well as soft roasted almond underlying notes originating from subtle oak usage. A lovely restraint, tight structure on the palate with a very well balanced natural acidity on the finish can be credited to the 1988 planted vines. A classic vintage for whites wines which will see this wine age very well.
