Winemaker Notes
This classic chardonnay opens up with aromas of crisp apple, pear,
mango and a hint of fresh cut pineapple.The layers of flavor are
accented with a sparkling minerality and balanced acidity. The finish
turns soft and delicate with notes of luxurious créme brûlée. Crisp, yet
creamy, this chardonnay epitomizes the best of both worlds.
