Delicious and mineral rich. Long finish and great acidity!

Buttery, perfume, floral, apple and creamy. M acid, tropical fruit, a bit bitter.

Balance perfection! Alluring pear, honey crisp apples, pineapple and melon with hints of spice and filberts are highlighted by mineral nuances. It's gorgeous through and through with a lush mouthfeel, yet bright and crisp finish. Pure, focused, clean. Acidity rounds out the fruit to give it perpetually perfect balance.

Not too oaky nor buttery. A little creamy mouthfeel from the lees. A little bit of baking spice. Soft apple. I often don't like chardonnay but this is really nice.

Burgundian. Some mineral salinity on the finish to balance the roundness and oak. Could’ve done with a touch more fruit up front before the acidity (which was quite nice and food friendly)

Singing! A hint of reduction initially. Apples, honeysuckle, a touch of caramel, long finish with acid and some bitters. Just lovely. Highly recommend.

Yellow fruit melted with butter and candy like honey. Great match with korean sidedish surprisingly. Love the salinity.
