Description
Pale gold color with a green hue, this Chardonnay opens with a nose of Bartlett pear, honeydew melon, and almond paste. The streamlined palate is elegant with flavors of apple, lemon curd, nougat, honeycomb, and sea salt with the finish revealing balanced creaminess and a minerality indicative and prized as a nod to the soil of its origin.
