It is said you get what you pay for, and while that’s not a particular rule of thumb when it comes to wine, that saying certainly applies here. This gorgeous Chardonnay is subtle and seductive on the nose, with pear in front joined by apple, soft spice and a dash of dry herb character. Quite complex and long, it has great acidity and real push in the finish. It’s built for lovers of the variety, and it will age in style.
