Description
The 2021 Offshoot Chardonnay shows a layered nose of ripe apricots and citrus characters, with a hint of toasted almonds and vanilla oak notes. Stone fruit continues through to the palate where the creamy elegant mouthfeel integrates beautifully with the French oak. The wine shows excellent structure with fruit weight on the finish. The wine can be enjoyed now but will also develop and evolve over the next 5 years.
