Oakville Ranch Chardonnay 2023 750ml RNDC Wine Natural fermentation was encouraged andFresh and lively in appearance, the 2022 Chardonnay shows delicate floral and citrus blossom notes on the nose, with undertones of sandalwood, ripe apple and juicy pineapple. Aromas are echoed on the palate, with hints of lychee and pear and a layer of tropical notes not often seen in this vineyard block.
