A luscious butterscotch-kissed Californian Chardonnay from the Central Coast. Enticing aromas and flavours of toffee, gold apple, pear and smoke. Full-bodied and smooth. Perfect for roast chicken or turkey.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A light, refreshing Chardonnay. Aromas of lemon, apple, toast, oak. On the palate, the oak is more subtle, the citrus and apple come through more, and the finish provides a hint of honey. Would be a great wine for roasted chicken.
Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Shy nose with lemony aromas.
Shy mouth too, but well made.
This screams salmon!
Jane LeFresne reviewed this wine as follows:

This Chardonnay doesn't have a big nose but aromas of lemon, biscuit, grapefruit with a soft nutty undertone.

Opens with honey flavours, red apple finishing with butterscotch and lemon. Medium to high acidity.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
