Not a full wooded Chardonnay just a biscuit touch with lively fruit on the palate and slight wood on the finish

This is so good, so I’m going to rate twice, it’s lemon creamy buttery is amazing and it’s stoned fruit flower and summery apricot so nice so soft and easy citrusy plays nice acidity overall, finishings soft and lemony buttery 🍋

Color is brilliant, gold yellow, pure gold yellow shine and deliciously elegantly dawn 🌆

Looking at label. Says Chardonnay. My nose and taste buds say it's Sauvignon Blanc? Mindf**k.

Jummy tannins. Rich cigar box with a kaki bos finish. Slightly stewed fruit, yet really pleasant. One of the few...i'm on my 4th sip if this tasting.
