Deliciously funky and savory. Tons of spice on the finish - Indian and baking. Wow.

I think #Jura #Chardonnay is my #spiritanimal. This one in particular. Spicy, savory apple and quince. Innocent, easy to like, exotic to my mother.

Golden fruit and great balance with just the slightest hint of oxidation. Great for the price!

Very tangy fruit, I suspect nonoxidative, medium acid, tangy fruity, feels significantly younger than vintage would suggest
