Fat Bastard Chardonnay 2019

A characteristic pale green and gold glow of a classic Chardonnay, a pleasingly approachable, medium-bodied wine. Expressive tropical fruit aromas intermingle with rich buttery notes and undertones of vanilla. The delicately spiced quality of vanilla is carried through on the palate, along with fragrant notes of acacia flower that present an added layer of complexity. The finish is bright and crisp, ending on an uplifting citrus finish.
