Colour: Straw in colour with subtle golden hues.
Aroma: White peach, nectarine and ripe citrus is complemented by delicate notes of baked goods, roasted cashew, and subtle spice from malolactic fermentation and oak maturation.
Palate: A generous palate yet balanced, showing flavours of stone fruit, lemon curd with a touch of grapefruit and white florals. The combination of oak and malolactic fermentation contribute layers of creamy texture, toast and complexity without overpowering the fruit. Adding richness, softness and a rounded, silky mouthfeel with a persistent finish.
A beautifully integrated Chardonnay with excellent palate weight, oak influence and a lingering finish displaying fresh citrus, stone fruit and savoury nuances.
Serve: Chilled. Enjoy with family and friends on informal or formal occasions. The Leone Chardonnay will pair nicely with Seafood any way you like it.
Cellaring: Best consumed in its youth, with the correct cellaring can be enjoyed for some years.
Winemaking Notes: The season’s later flowering delayed harvest, with Chardonnay picked as the fruit reached optimum flavour development and natural acidity. The resulting fruit displayed excellent varietal character, vibrant acidity and concentrated flavours. This wine was fermented and matured in French oak, incorporating a balance of new and seasoned oak to build texture, complexity and subtle spice.
