Big and rich this is a clean, sophisticated Chardonnay that offers an exotic nose of tropical fruit, green apples, and nectarines. A delicious mixing of ripe and vibrant fruit flavors are complemented by a touch of toasted hazelnuts that resulted from nine months of aging in light oak. A round mouthfeel and balanced finished, make this wine a delightful experience. Pair it with scallops or halibut to see it really shine.
