🍷 Appearance
• Light straw-gold colour in the glass — bright and inviting.
👃 Aroma / Bouquet
• Ripe stone fruit notes — prominent nectarine and peach aromas.
• Citrus nuances — a hint of grapefruit brings freshness to the nose.
• Mealy complexity and subtle French oak add depth and intrigue.
👅 Palate / Flavour
• Rich, succulent stone fruit flavours on the palate — nectarine and peach carry through strongly.
• Fresh, lively acidity gives structure and balance, keeping the wine crisp rather than heavy.
• Oak influence is well integrated, offering gentle spice and texture without dominating the fruit.
🥂 Finish & Style
• The finish is tight, linear and lingering, with juicy fruit and bright acidity leading to a refreshing close.
• While approachable now, this 2020 Chardonnay has enough structure to develop further complexity over 5–8 years with careful cellaring.
🍽️ Food Pairing Notes
• Pairs beautifully with seafood (especially shellfish and lightly grilled fish), roast chicken, or a soft-cheese platter — all complement its fruit and lively acidity.
