Firestone Vineyard Private Reserve Chardonnay 2023 | Elegant Californian White Wine 70 cl - RV Drinks

Sun-ripened fruit from California's Central Coast combines with the complexity of oak-barrel ageing in this carefully aged, beautifully balanced Chardonnay, showcasing exactly what a premium cool-climate California expression can achieve. Baked apple, ripe pear and bright lemon zest open the intensely aromatic bouquet, interwoven with opulent notes of toasted almond, subtle vanilla bean and a hint of creme brulee, developing into a medium to full-bodied, wonderfully creamy palate with concentrated fruit balanced by bright acidity, closing persistent and exceptionally smooth with a lingering impression of sweet oak and profound depth.
