15’ Arista Banfield Chardonnay. Aromas of orange blossom, lemons, stones & baking spices.
The wine is silky. Notes of pear skin, lime curd & lemon butter. That mineral taste that ran through the glass in the last two years has softened. Still not as good as the 2016. Delicious anyway. Also have noticed in the last three weeks a slight bottle variation in the 15 Banfield. Has a solid 4/5 years in it. Cheers.

A very bright and citrus based Chardonnay with hints of melon and a flint finish
