This elegant Chardonnay has bright hues of yellow straw. Rich aromas of pear, apple and lemon custard combine with notes of roasted hazelnut, vanilla and toasty oak. The flavors are very soft with ripe pear, apple and cream ending with a lingering toasty oak finish. Barrel fermentation with sur-lie aging adds layers of viscosity, depth and complex flavors that marry well with the Chardonnay's natural acidity and bright fruit.
