  Please please do not drink white wine too cold, that includes restaurants who serve a bottled in a full bucket of ice - end of rant.
  
  When the temperature does rise from absolute zero, there is a good amount of oak on the nose, pineapple and white flower. Good acidity in the mouth, drying, but not stony. Then the fruit and creaminess arrive and give that high quality Chardonnay experience. Right at the very very end, there is a touch of white pepper on the very tip of the tongue.

  If you like oaked Chardonnays, you will like this one. 2/3 have been matured for 10 months in French oak barriques.
  
  You'll get the typical vanilla and buttery notes, but it is imo not overdone. In addition to pineapple and pear, they are well integrated and deliver a creamy and well balanced palate.
