Light gold in colour with a medium to medium+ intense nose.
A quality Chard that is under $25.
Positives: This wine features well-integrated oak, lightly buttered toast, lemon, peach, pineapple, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Full body with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: None
Interesting Point: Use the larger new World Chardonnay glass.
Drink now or over the next 5 years on its own or pair it with seared scallops wrapped in bacon.
