Bright gold in colour with a medium+ intense nose.
A solid Chard with good complexity.
Positives: Lots of tropical fruit that blends well with the integrated oak. In addition, there’s sweet spice, some nuttiness, creaminess and minerality on the finish. Full body with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: Slight heat from the 14.2% alcohol
Drink now or over the next 3 years on its own or pair it with rotisserie Cornish hens.
