My style of Chard; juicy, buttery, creamy, oaked, layered flavours, well balanced & under 14% alcohol
Description: Bright gold in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This complex wine features medium toasted oak, Easter Lily, lemon merengue pie, peach, golden and Spartan apples, honey, clove, ginger, dill, slate & peat smoke. Full body with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: None
Drink now or in the next 5 years on its own or pair it with Butternut Squash Ravioli with Garlic Aioli.
