Division ‘Un’ Chardonnay

Pale straw with golden hue. The aromatics are a nice balance of orchard fruit - pears with hints of marzipan (think pear almond tart, but not too buttery) and hints of light and well integrated flinty reduction. The palate is lively with gorgeous fruit, mineral character and tons of length on the balanced finish.
