Generous aromas of orchard fruit, lemon peel, salted butter and toasted nuts. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity, giving notes of orange zest, fresh pineapple and brioche. Rich and textured with bright acidity.

Winemaker Notes

This Chardonnay shines with a pale straw color and layered aromas of caramelized nuts, ripe pear, pie crust, praline and brown sugar. Rich flavors of baked apple, pear, toasted oak and baking spice blend seamlessly. The palate is intense and velvety, balanced by bright acidity and a long, creamy finish.
