2015 Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve Chardonnay
Matured in French oak for 13 months of which 40% was new. Brilliant straw colour with a glimmer of green around the edges and a watery hue. Intense ripe peach aromas overlaid by dried honey and bees wax characters meld into traces of apricot, subtle toast, biscuity cashew like nuances and spice. Very rich, powerful and viscous in the mouth the palate is filled with ripe peach and subtle apricot flavours married to honeycomb and roasted almond characters with some biscuity nougat, bees wax and spice ensuing. Rich creamy texture showing lots of complexity and excellent depth, it finishes with a very lengthy aftertaste of ripe peaches, honeycomb, traces of apricot, biscuity nougat, bees wax and spicy roasted almonds. One for those who enjoy the fuller styles of Chardonnay.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.2%
