Hand picking. Hand sorting. Whole bunch pressing. French oak barrels. Sur lie aging. Watchful fermentation. This medium- to full-bodied Chardonnay gets special attention that creates special results. Clear and bright with a straw yellow hue and a bouquet of yellow apple, melon, toasty oak, delicate spice and a touch of toffee. Full-bodied and rich. Flavours of melon, pear, tropical fruit and spicy oak fill the mouth. Spicy oak, grilled lemon, red apple, tropical fruit and toffee linger on the long smooth finish. Serve at a not-too-cool chilled temperature of between 14 and 16˚C. A beautiful accompaniment to creamy sides like potato leek grain, buttered baked squash, mashed potatoes, risotto, this wine is also delicious with popular holiday mains like turkey with stuffing, salmon wrapped in puff pastry, Lobster Newburg and pasta with cream sauce.
