With a name like gravelstone you would think there might be some terroir here, but nope! This isn't buttery in that way people typically mean in that it has a silky, creamy texture, but it does literally taste like hot butter. Lighter in body than many new world chardonnays, with a slightly smoky/sweet finish.

Fresh bouquet. A full bodied, dry, acidic and creamy wine. Generous and almost overly toasty.
