Chardonnay straddling two worlds, woody, nervous, easy, not complex but very well done.

If you like grapefruit, you’ll love this wine
Description: Light gold in colour with a medium intense nose. This wine features grapefruit, lemon, green apple, pear and limestone. Medium body with good acidity and a fairly long length.
Negatives: Too much sourness
Interesting Note: This wine was aged in 12 months in French oak, yet on taste very little or no oak detected. I may have had a dud.
Drink now or in the next 2 years on its own or pair it with snapper ceviche.
Tasted: 4 March 2015
Score: 8.5/10, Value: 8.5/10 Total: 17/20
Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 3+
