A surprisingly fine white, the 2005 Chardonnay was aged in 300 liter used hogsheads, so the oak component is very subtle. Medium to full-bodied with ripe, honeyed pineapple, pear, and passion fruit characteristics, it reveals a nice texture, excellent acidity, and fine overall balance. Drink this fruity Chardonnay over the next year.
89 Points, Drink 2006 - 2007.
