This wine is gold flecked with green, and the gold deepens with age. It is redolent with superb aromas of hedgerow flowers (acacia, may, honeysuckle, and a very delicate elderflower) as well as violet, lemon, white peach or flint. Time brings out honey, quince, and dried fruits. Indeed, this wine is full of fruit, which on the palate is lively and well-rounded, meaty and long. Handpicked harvest. Traditional fermentation in oak barrels (15-20% new casks). Maturation during 17-19 months in cellar for ageing, stored in barrels. 100% Chardonnay
