Tasting note
Transparent lemon yellow. Smoke in the nose with subtle roasted aromas in the background. On the palate wonderfully structured with a great balance between body, fruit and freshness! Creamy texture with a hint of pastry. The wine clearly has volume but still tastes very light. A chardonnay of noble appearance and a lot of potential for grey hair. The winegrower has it, too!
