"The 2018 Chardonnay Estate delivers typical toasty-powdery aromas, along with notes of mandarin orange, white peach, and pineapple. Medium-bodied and silky in texture, it is a little restrained at this stage of its development, but should blossom in about six months and then drink well for up to a decade."
