The California Chardonnay is straw colored and smells of lemon, guava, apples and vanilla. On the palate there is citrus,melon and a touch of pineapple. It’s oaky, to a point, but not overdone. The acidity, does not rip, but it refreshes. The finish is long, with tropical notes.

Good value for a nice creamy, oaky chardonnay with lots of vanilla flavour.
