"This 100% Chardonnay from the other side of the world is a wine for connoisseurs with a captivating complexity. Discover it for yourself!"

"Flint, roasted lemons, peaches, mango pieces, and white tea. Textured and complex with beautiful minerality and a marked bite. Dense and full-bodied with a sense of control. Drink now or hold. Screw cap." (James Suckling 2022)

About wine:

The 2019 Chardonnay is full-bodied, firm, and rigorous. It is flavorful in its youth, with subtle notes of toast and smoked bacon that complement the delicate fruity flavors. This is not a shy and reserved Chardonnay.
