Roast Chicken
Chardonnay with freshness and poise, showing bright fruit, plenty of lime, citrus characters and saline-like minerality. Lees stirring and a good proportion going through malo in French oak added pleasant hazelnut and spice notes. The restrained nature of this vintage would benefit from a bit of time in the cellar to integrate and broaden slightly.
