Apple, lemon curd, slate and buttery oak. Good acidity and balance.

This wine features a light golden straw tint with a nose of apples, pineapples and peaches. Big, pure fruit is what is showing here. The palate has a gorgeous mouthfeel, silky and creamy without the wood. The acidity is subdued, but still enough to handle pairing with a salad or seafood. Peach and apricot are foremost with a light touch of earth, but the fruit is the show.

High mineral content, less buttery than a typical Chardonnay, pairs well with citrus.
