Not your usual Chardonnay ! Clear, star bright, medium low intensity, straw color , medium plus viscosity. Green apple nose, grassy, citrus and mineral flavors, a little cream / butter, full bodied but crisp. Odd because it still retains the flavors of malo / lees and the body consistent with the grape yet lacking the concentration, coupled with the racy acidity one would expect from an area so far north. Pairs well with rich foods. Refreshing and crisp but able to stand up on its own.
