  PNP. Straw color. Lemon meringue, honeysuckle, pineapple, and oak. Smooth , dry palate, with lingering, tongue coating acidity.
  
  This has a higher end Sonoma sensibility, but is not overly creamy. It’s slightly tart, but in a nice way. Long, lingering finish.

  Background
  This area is approximately half one hectare in size. The characteristics are similar in the Quartz Chardonnay to the Kostas Rind Chardonnay but all aspects are amplified here yet remain in complete harmony.
  
  The winemaking is the same for both wines however the Quartz Chardonnay sometimes spends a few months longer in barrel and there is a higher percentage of new wood used, being around 35%.
  
  Production varies from 150-250 dozen per vintage.
