2023 Mosswood Chardonnay

Complex, rich, veils of fruit flavours. Chardonnay with a superb aging capacity. Fastidious viticulture, fermentation & lees ageing in French barriques. Bright condition. Pale golden straw with golden hue. Nose: Aromas of ripe white peach, nectarine, lemon cheesecake, fresh vanilla bean and fig. Very complex with subtle notes of nougat, toasted oats, cashew and shortbread in the background. Palate: Intense but fresh, vibrant and balanced in all aspects; ripe fruit notes of nashi pear, lime, white peach and rock melon. Subtle secondary notes of shortbread biscuit, freshly baked pastry and oak derived vanilla bean, caramel and roasted nuts. Acidity and phenolics are firm without being aggressive, and interweave with the middle and back palate seamlessly.
