Description: Bright gold colour, med+ intensity with lemon tarts, vanilla, pineapple, mango, white lilies & limestone. Med+ complexity on the nose. On the taste good acidity, full body, some heat in the after taste, long length & balanced. Creamy buttery mouth feel, vanilla, lemon meringue, pineapple, cantaloupe, mango, orange, limestone. More complex on the taste than the nose. Medium oak on nose & taste. Easy drinking Chard from a reliable producer.
Highly recommend.

This is a wine with great depth and maturity. Complex flowering flavors.
Not sure on the value, but, if you are looking for an impressive, complicated, in depth white wine, this is a go for bottle all the way
