Drinking Window: 2022 - 2024
A well-priced Californian Chardonnay for the quality, left unoaked to showcase the generous, juicy, ripe nectarine, mango and baked apple characters. The mouthfeel is rich and smooth, but there's enough lemony acidity to balance. Ideal with a creamy chicken, leek and mushroom pie.
