Nashdale Lane Chardonnay 2023 rabigato orange blossom and lavenderA golden yellow hue this Chardonnay is medium in body and acidity with a nose of ripe apples, guava, vanilla and brioche which translates on the palate and combines with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel from the oak make this both a complex and moorish wine. With lingering and subtle oak finish thanks to maturation in 25% new puncheon (500L) French Oak, it drinks well now but promises great ageing potential.
