Stellenzicht Thunderstone Chardonnay 2023

Vibrant aromas of fresh citrus, apricots and finishes with some lovely white floral notes. The extended lees contact creates layers of texture and nuance in the wine, while the older oak component contributes to the hints of biscuits on the finish of the pallet on this delicious Chardonnay.
