Smooth and well-balanced, this moderate-climate unoaked Chardonnay offers ripe pear, golden apple, and citrus aromas with a touch of white blossom. Its refreshing acidity is complemented by a round, silky texture and a hint of minerality, leading to a clean, elegant finish.

Winemaker notes
The light minerality in the aroma is strongly expressed in the taste and is complemented by a pleasant palate caressing creaminess, hazelnut notes and the exoticism of mango, papaya and passion fruit. The taste is very fresh with balancing notes of sweet citrus – sweet orange juice, sweet vanilla, white chocolate and fleshy medlar. Floral and herbal notes are also present in the taste, with St. John’s wort leading the way, followed by linden and lavender.
An excellent wine, possessing exceptional character and demonstrating a very high level of complexity.
