Subtle aromas of cinnamon, apple and just-ripe white nectarine lead the way, followed by layers of lemon butter, peach skin and cashew cream. There’s richness here, but it’s measured and controlled. The medium-bodied palate turns up the volume, with creamy butter and cashew notes front and centre, joined by peach, cedar and a touch of toast. Chewy phenolics lend shape and textural grip through the finish. A bolder, more unctuous style of Chardonnay—ideal for those who enjoy the fuller, toastier expression.
