Indulge in the creamy and fruity essence of our 2016 Chardonnay. This barrel-fermented and lees-aged gem perfectly balances fresh flavors with well-integrated oak. The smooth, buttery bouquet intertwines with subtle hints of clove, while notes of Asian pear, passion fruit, and papaya greet your palate, leading to a decadent crème brûlée and vanilla finish.
