Not a ton to unpack here. Unoaked chard with some apple and pineapple aromas. A slight amount of creamy mouthfeel but mostly pretty sharp. Some tropical melon flavors but really dominated by over ripened red apple. Not my thing.

Unoaked Chardonnays are usually quite good, allowing the fruits to shine. This one is exceptional, refreshing and balanced with no cream or butter. What a great Summer Wine! It sports peach and honeysuckle flavors, with just a touch of lime.. Here’s to more tree-free wines!

This tree-free Chardonnay is creamy but not buttery, with bright apricot fruit and a splash of citric lime; the bouquet is redolent with honey and lemon. It perfectly complemented our dinner of baked code and chicken chorizo server on a bed of sautéed kale and oregano potatoes. Magnificent!

This one just didn’t work for me. Sharp, lacking smoothness. @nakedwine

Have to start with this fact - I really do not like bananas. The strongest flavor in this wine. . . Banana pudding. Unfortunately that was too difficult for me to overcome. Others in our family did enjoy though.

Exceptionally balanced, complex after taste of citrus lime, sensational! Thought it will be fruity sweet but rather tasty on buds after one swallow. Fan know.
