Years ago, this stainless bottling was one of the first to establish the now common style. It offers aromas of poached pear and guava peel, then finds a tense structure on the palate where warmer tones of papaya, cherimoya, pineapple and honeysuckle combine.

Brought up in stainless steel tanks, the 2019 Chardonnay Stainless reveals a lighter color as well as pretty melon and tropical fruits, medium-bodied richness, good depth of fruit, and a juicy finish. It's a delicious, charming, well-made Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming 2-3 years.
