Palliser Estate 'Om Santi' Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
Description
Fresh and precise, the nose is a clarion call of freshly picked stonefruits and saline, mineral notes — white peach, nectarine, dried pineapple, nougat, vanilla bean ice cream and sea spray. Om Santi is a perfect match for creamy pasta dishes, risotto, roast pork and poultry. Enjoy on release or cellar with confidence in cool, dark conditions for up to a decade. Effortless power with a mouthwatering salinity and oyster-shell minerality set over a succulent, creamy texture, Om Santi is complex yet understated, with a lightness of touch despite its immense power and weight.
