  30 min decant, sweet pineapple maybe some gauva fruit on the palate, tastes fresh and clean but carried by some solid ripe yellow fruit

  very chilled ,flavors of peach , almost passion fruit and lime syrup on the palate and a white cherry aspect, pungent without excess weight, the acid comes on slow yet is volatile, almost a black pepper aspect to counter all the exotic fruit

  Very tasty, and so golden. Slightly dry, but full of flavor, lots of fruity notes.

  Not only the marketing, but also the flavors of this wine are totally interesting. This is by no means a typical Chardonnay. It just exudes big, fresh, exotic nectarine and other tropical fruit. The color is deep rich golden. All kinds of brown sugar influenced, full bodied, youthfully expressive, tropical fruit. Some admirable secondary flavors like lanolin, green tea and rhubarb. Wildly acidic. Spicy. A big explosion of flavor on the roof of the mouth. The finish is very much of no oak Chardonnay picked slightly under ripe showing some green garden nectarine, scuppernong and Christmas spice.
