La Pitchoune Chardonnay

Not typically the over ripe “California” style of pinot noir, this is perfectly balanced and more European in the way it has been made.

Aromas of red fruits, tobacco, dried rose petals, star anise and ginger rise from the glass. Fresh and bright flavours of wild strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate, and blood orange are interlaced with juniper, black tea, smoke accompanied by some soft, chewy tannins. Although this complex wine is approachable now, it will only improve over the next 10 years.
