Barrel fermentation in 15% new French oak and further elevage in oak for 9 months. This is handy with white stone fruit and some lemon sherbert tang. The wine feels uplifted by its juicy acidity and pomelo pulp buoyancy. Oak creaminess nestles on the outside of the palate, this is full of invigorating energy and a lithe and vibrant style of Chardonnay. For those that enjoy the cool east coast growing regions, you will find this is your wheelhouse. A lovely wine to add to the Xanadu Chardonnay portfolio.
