Smooth and snappy. Fruit with a hint of butter. A fairly obvious Chard. So kinda boring.

Great Chardonnay. Nice fruity balance with a hint of oak and not too much vanilla.

Straw yellow with aromas of stone and citrus and fruit. The palate shows ripe fruit, apples and pears with slight spice good acidity and a creamy finish with a touch of oak. Great value. Tasting Sample.

Full of apple and pear flavors with a splash of citrus and a slight touch of butter. Very low on the oak. Paired nicely with Mediterranean food such as spanikopita, Israeli salad, and chicken shwarma.

Fantastic blend of buttery smoothness and citrus. Rich and juicy with a nice, oak finish. Full of flavour with a creamy texture.
