Cloudy Bay Chardonnay

A crystalline mid yellow hue. The bouquet offers luscious aromas of white chocolate, cashew nuts and ripe peach followed by notes of pink grapefruit and white flowers. The palate welcomes with bright vibrant acidity balanced by mouth filling rich flavours of ripe nectarine, nougat and toast crust. A silky finish with appealing flavour intensity.
