They were out of Puffeney Chardonnay so we just had to drink this. Really great fresh yellow orchard fruits (mirabelle, golden apple skin, yellow pear) matched with these savory almond, sesame, salted cashew, walnut husk, saffron and chicken stock. Like great fino or manzanilla, but without that little muscled bump of the acidification and fortification. A classic and should be considered as highly as wines that we see much more often on IG and @delectable.

This has been open for 3 months with a Vacuvin stopper. It's creamy and delicious. Just crazy stuff.

Like a fino sherry but twice as concentrated, fresher, and more intense.
