2017 vintage. One of the must aromatic Chardonnays that I've ever had. Floral daffodils and gardenia on the nose, along with tropical fruits and some oak spice. Palate of yellow apple, melon, baked pineapple, green fig.

Takes a bit of getting used to but then great purity, flavor and texture. Oh, and length.

Ripe pear, stewed pear, sultana raisin. Vanilla. Thai basil. Toffee. Subdued notes of oak. Very well balanced acidity to go with such rich fruit notes.

The first non-Riesling spätlese I’ve tried. Green apple, pineapple, super clean and fresh. Very fragrant and nice long finish. Excellent!

Green apple peel and hints of watermelon on the nose meets a bracingly elegant, clean Chardonnay on the nose with a beautifully integrated acidity, floral notes, and just a hint of sour yeast. Refreshing without being too insubstantial.
