From iron-rich vineyards cooled by sea breezes comes this delicious Chardonnay, packed with creamy apple, white peach and zesty citrus aromas and flavours. The palate is weighty, yet a seam of focused acidity and flinty minerality keeps things fresh, and the oak (eight months in French barrels, 30% new) is well judged. The heavy bottle seems unnecessary for such an elegant wine, but this is well worth seeking out.
