Wine Description

This unoaked Chardonnay presents a bright straw colour and a vibrant sensory profile. The nose is highly aromatic, featuring layers of pear, sweet-tart apple, and mango, complemented by delicate notes of citrus, honeysuckle, and jasmine. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a round mouthfeel, opening with bright tropical fruit and citrus flavors followed by a distinct, crisp minerality. It is characterized by a fresh, well-balanced acidity and concludes with a long, clean finish.
