The palate displays depth and flavours of white peach and anise. Generous flavours of ripe stone-fruit, figs, sweet citrus and grilled nuts fill the mouth in this rich and full bodied Chardonnay. Complemented and amplified by the toasty and spicy bass notes of the barrel fermentation and maturation. The long palate resolves itself with a subtly spicy and citric tang.
