Amourette Chardonnay 2012

To the eye, a beautiful bright golden straw color.

The delightful, delicate floral nose leads into a palate that shows notes of intense ripe fruit with its power held in check by bright acidity and balancing complex mineral structure.

In the mouth, soft and round initially, the wine has a slowly-changing feel that adds real intrigue on the palate, hinting at the little love affair about to begin. In a moment it reveals delicious notes of white fruits and hazelnut with discreet acidity on the palate.

Mouth-filling with pleasant vibrant juicy flavors of apricot and bright citrus. A smooth, impressively long lime zest finish but still perfectly balanced.  

An intriguing, delicious and very approachable wine showing a lovely sense of refinement, perfectly poised and balanced.

Blessed with ideal weather 2012 was one of those idyllic growing seasons. The 2012 grape harvest yielded generous amounts of high quality fruit causing us and our fellow winemakers to use words such as "excellent," "outstanding" and "ideal" to describe the vintage.
