Melville Estate Chardonnay 16

Pale straw in color, with intriguing aromatics of lemon peel, crushed rocks, and minerals coming through initially. On the palate, notes of fresh ginger, kumquat, and dried straw mingle with impressions of saline, fresh sourdough, and D’Anjou pear. The mouthfeel is vibrant, with a touch of oiliness on the mid-palate along with an energetic streak of acidity that anchors a voluptuous and polished finish.
