Scoring 92 points, this wine delights the senses with a bouquet of ripe pear, citrus zest, and a hint of flinty minerality, underscored by a subtle creaminess from gentle oak aging. On the palate, it showcases a harmonious balance of bright acidity and rich texture, leading to a refreshing finish that lingers with notes of green apple and a whisper of vanilla. This Chardonnay is perfect for a summer seafood feast, particularly with grilled scallops or a zesty ceviche. A truly great value find, it delivers quality well beyond its peers, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.
