Ripe and floral in the warm 2018 vintage. The nose gives off notes of pineapple rind, apple blossom and honeysuckle. The palate is fresh and flashy, with flavours of nectarine, roasted pineapples and ocean breeze. A definitive example of a one-of-a-kind California Chardonnay that combines a ripe, sunny and tropical nature with the tension of dry-farmed mountain fruit.

The 2018 Chardonnay shows a hint of toasty, honeyed development on the nose, highlighting the ripe tangerine and citrus notes. Maybe the plumpest and most generous of the vintages tasted on this occasion, this medium-bodied effort remains bright and crisp, seamlessly marrying those sensations with a ripe, silky texture.
