Cupcake Butterkissed Chardonnay (75cl, 13.5%)

A 100% Chardonnay from California, bottled at 13.5% ABV. It undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation, converting malic acid into softer lactic acid and producing diacetyl, the compound behind its buttery character. The wine is aged in American and French oak barrels, adding vanilla and toasted oak. The nose shows rich butter, warm vanilla, ripe pear, white peach and subtle oak spice. The palate is smooth and creamy, with buttery notes, white peach, citrus zest, vanilla and toasted oak. The finish is medium in length, soft and velvety, with butter, stone fruit and gentle citrus freshness.
