Bota Box Chardonnay (3L, 13%)

A California Chardonnay from Delicato Family Wines, packaged in a 3-litre box-wine format equivalent to four standard 750ml bottles. The Chardonnay is sourced from California vineyards and sees a touch of oak influence, contributing subtle vanilla and toasty notes. The wine shows citrus zest, honeydew melon, ripe pear and pineapple on the nose, with vanilla and light oak behind. The palate is bright and crisp with lemon and Honey Crisp apple, broadening to pear, graham cracker and a whisper of butter. The finish is smooth and moderately long, with toasted almond and ginger and a juicy, citrus-tinged acidity.
