Crafted in a Burgundian method, this golden-hued Chardonnay exhibits a subtle creaminess matched with great acidity and structure. Our sixth vintage release of this style of Chardonnay results in an exciting fusion of baked apple, dried pineapple, quince, and coconut with layered vanilla and hints of smoke and honey. Old-world touches of mineral, walnut, and bright acidity balance the richness. It matures well in the cellar!
