Flora Springs Chardonnay 2019 (75cl, 14.2%)

Flora Springs Chardonnay 2019 is a full-bodied white wine from Napa Valley, California, made from 100% Chardonnay. It is fermented and aged in small French oak barrels with twice-weekly lees stirring, and 45% partial malolactic fermentation. The nose opens with honeydew melon, guava, pineapple, honey and unsweetened coconut. The palate is richly fruited with honeydew and guava, broadening into baking spice and almond-extract sweetness, with a creamy mouthfeel and bright acidity. The finish is long, with tropical fruit, spice and a faint toasty quality from the French oak.
