It is the beginning of summer in San Francisco and we are drinking this unoaked chardonnay from South Africa all day long! Rich intensity of tropical fruit (grilled pineapple) ripe citrus notes and lemon curd. It has vibrant acidity and not an ounce of wood or oak influences to be seen. Great weight on the palate and a medium finish. Refreshing with great flavor intensity and extremely affordable!

I really liked it. Crisp and fresh, I might have been thirsty but this was very drinkable. Will but again
