Savaterre Chardonnay 2014

Tasting Notes

"Great release here. Potent scents of sandalwood, stone fruit, green apples, wet ferns. Palate is silky, oak slips into soft fruit character and acidity sits glossy underneath. It's got that feel of supreme elegance and balance. Decadence yet refreshment. Opulence yet control. The quibble will be how much oak you like in chardonnay, and it's a distinct, lavish feature, but there's fruit power to back it up. Decanting and cellaring will reward." - Mike Bennie
