2017 Queen Taken Chardonnay
This wine has essences of citrus peel and white peach, pear and wet stone, combined with delicate floral notes. The palate has generous fruit flavours of peach, nectarine and apricot, layered mid-palate richness and focused acidity, providing a long, textured, mineral finish.

"The nose is a lovely floral affair with threads of wet stone/mineral note mixed with ripe tropical melons and citrus. The palate is equally intense nectarine orange marmalade notes with a dash of exotic litchi fruit."

"The wine is notable for its texture: a bony frame supporting long-term aging. It begins with aromas of citrus, notably orange peel. On the palate, there are flavours of stone fruit, with minerality on the back of the palate that expresses itself as wet stone."

"This wine offers concentrated flavors of Mandarin, orange liqueur, Poire Williams and apple cider. It offers subtle warmth, with ripe fruit that punches through the long finish. It was aged 16 months in 44% new French oak, which brings a lingering taste of toasted almonds to the close."
