Imbued with freshness, this Reserve cuvée shakes off the clichés about new-world Chardonnays being too bold, too woody, too "tropical". Quite the contrary! The nose is subtle, with aromas of white flowers typical of the grape variety. On the palate, it is lightly toasted, with an elegant saline touch on the finish. - Packaging in screw cap
