From the producer's Lewis Vineyard, this white is thickly dense in Bosc pear and toasted oak. Rich and robust, it offers lengthy texture and buttery length: a good fit for fans of a full-bodied, opulent style.

Starting with the base Chardonnay, the 2018 Chardonnay is a ripe, nicely textured, concentrated white that has classy buttered citrus and orchard fruit as well as a touch of background oak. It's rock-solid.
