Description:

First Taste (Attack):
Bright, crisp acidity up front — think lemon zest and fresh-cut peach. The oak influence is gentle but noticeable early, adding a touch of toast and nuttiness.

Mid-Palate:
Expands into richer stonefruit layers (nectarine, yellow peach), buttered shortbread, and roasted almond. The mouthfeel becomes creamy, thanks to lees aging, while maintaining good freshness. Subtle spice (nutmeg, clove) weaves in from the oak.

Aftertaste (Finish):
Long, elegant finish of citrus, mineral, and delicate oak. Acidity stays lively, keeping the wine clean and food-friendly. Lingering nuttiness gives a refined, Burgundian edge.

What to Expect Overall:
A Chardonnay that balances freshness with richness. Not too heavy, but polished, textured, and sophisticated.
