The nose features fresh pineapple with notes of hazelnuts and a touch of vanilla. The palate is lush with good volume, vibrant acidity and finishes with generous fruit.  The wine was aged for 6 months, 33% in French oak barrels, 5% in a French oak foudre, and 62% in a stainless steel tank which brings a gentle kiss of oak to enhance the ripe Chardonnay fruit.
