d'Arenberg - The Olive Grove - Chardonnay - 2018 - 750ml - Darenberg

A lovely modern style of Chardonnay, showing great balance between crisp, savoury fruit and subtle integrated oak. The bouquet displays an attractive array of nectarine, Granny Smith, vanilla, spice, and mildly roasted nuts. The palate has an initial hit of creaminess, quite strong in stone fruit and white flowers. The finish is long and dry, with just a whisper of those vanillin notes first spotted on the nose.
