Fresh & pure, with the notes of sea-spray, Meyer lemon zest and a flinty minerality which have become the aromatic signature of our Estate Chardonnay. The palate reinforces the fresh character, with bright, precise acidity leading through almond and tangerine fruit. Hard-spice notes of cardamom pod and nutmeg persist into the long, rich finish. Delicious today, but built to age gracefully under proper cellar conditions well into the future.
