The minerality on this
new vintage shows first, then the typical slightly bready chardonnay nose of
golden citrus. On the palate, fullness
with ripe lemon and some apple and peach notes, a little chalkiness, with salty
minerality and a hint of tropical fruit on the long finish. Very refreshing, eminently quaffable and
great with food. This was confirmed as
we drank it throughout our 3 course meal at Sea Breeze restaurant, where it
paired well with oysters, prawns, seared tuna and a lemon tart.
As famous wine critic
Robert Parker said in the past:"... this wine possesses far better balance
and sheer drinkability – not to mention more finesse – than 99% of the world’s
Chardonnay I have experienced.” High
praise indeed.
