Golden color. Aromas full of melon and green apple with a hint of ginger. A full bodied creamy Chardonnay that highlights melon and apricot on taste. Maybe not a food wine. It is much better by itself - a mild cheddar may pair well.

Not bad for a Chardonnay. Oaky & buttery. Goes well with a light pasta. Not too sweet
