Love this Chardonnay! Need to do another exchange with you soon @Shay Aldriedge loved this! So good with crab cakes!
Deep yellow almost golden. Layered and thick nose, a little dirty to start and opened up with butterscotch, meyer lemon, honeyed stone fruits, and yellow tropical fruits. Absolutely delicious. Delicious acidity (6.5/10) and full bodied. Long and lingering finish with notes of candied citrus and tropical fruits, honey and a touch creamy but not over the top. Drink till 2025.

Another awesome tasting at the weekly Wine Committee. Always such a treat when I get invited to taste such wonderful wines blind! Got to taste with Weston, the owner of Montagu, as he attends these fairly often. Should of known there would be a Montagu sighting!
It's no secret I love Montagu. It's been great seeing the quality of each vintage build upon itself, and it was the first time I'd tasted the '13 and '14 back to back. Montagu has been trying a few different vineyards for their chards, but the difference in no malolactic fermentation ('13) vs malo ('14) is becoming more clear. Love the purity of the '13. It was hard guessing these as they were whites 1 and 3, with a curveball for number 2!
