A rich expression that avoids cloying viscosity thanks to bright acidity and carefully selected oak. Apple, vanilla, pear and lemon creme aromas translate beautifully on the palate, with my crisp and creamy requirement satisfied with style. This will move your buttery oaky fan friends toward the center of the Chardonnay spectrum.
