Nose initially is very spicy with almonds and vanilla - lots of wood influence, creamy texture, light fizz, green apples and citrus. With time open it develops a floral, honeyed side and the oak influence integrates better. I think it could probably do with a little time to settle down but this is fascinating. It's so rich, like a sparkling Burgundy.

Olipa mielenkiintoista. Olipa sitruunaa🍋. Vaikea keksiä, minkä kanssa tämä sopisi. Kokeiltiin tuoretta sitruunaakin hapokkuuden pehmentämiseksi, ja silti viini maistui vain sitruunalla. Hyvin terävä hapokkuus yhdistettynä tammikypsytykseen ei nyt vain jotenkin toiminut.

Delicious Ridgeview Chardonnay with a very generous helping of oak. Just about in balance, and will no doubt integrate further and improve with some time in bottle. Underneath the oak there is some excellent fruit.
Be patient with this one!
