14 Hands Chardonnay (75cl, 13.5%)

A medium-bodied Chardonnay from Columbia Valley, Washington State, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made from 95% Chardonnay and 5% complementary white varieties, fermented in stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels before malolactic conversion. The nose opens with delicate florals, ripe melon and sliced pear, with shortbread, toasted filberts and a hint of lavender. The palate is crisp with lemon curd and green apple, broadening into guava, ripe pineapple and butter, with subtle vanilla and toasty oak. The finish is medium in length, with lingering baking spice and soft pear sweetness.
