Pulled as a “open that bottle” after this got lost in my parents cellar. At the end of its life but still nice. Flavors of nut and honey, and nice acidity on the palate. Pleasantly surprised.

Very nice - I'm normally shy on Chardonnay, but this one is fresh, with big palate busting fruit, and refreshing acidity. Very decent finish also, filled with nuts and more - very creamy. Good color, light to medium straw.
On checking, only about a third of this wine is fermented in barrel - I'm assuming that the rest is in steel or concrete. Really fabulous result.
Super value - drink while its fresh

very zesty, very crisp, refreshing, dry, bright, shows minerals and citrus, like a Spanish white almost, does not show many classic chardonnay characteristics, different, should pair well with white fish

Mild citrus nose. In the mouth, crisp, light fruit, minerals and subdued oak. Pairs well with sole sautéed with lobster sauce.
