ABOUT THE WINE

In 2022, the maiden vintage (2021) of the Chardonnay Réserve was released. Evolution in our exploration of Chardonnay, this is our first 100% Chardonnay to be matured in oak barrels for 8 months as an extension of our reserve wines within the range. Find delicate orange blossoms and grapefruit on the nose, with citrus, melon and toasted notes on the palate supported by good structure and integrated oak. With lively acidity, expect a fresh finish
