“Struck river stones. . Pomelo flesh, white nectarine and crab apple blossom. Sandstone, white lily and lemon curd. Marigold and shortbread. Fruit is looking youthful and fresh. A flinty reduction backed but lovely peach ripeness. Dried pineapple and almond flour on the finish. A welterweight of a wine but with substance and flair. Oak is toasty but suits the style and certainly has the fruit to carry it. Drinking very well now and will cellar another 2- years. Serve with buttery crayfish in the shell.”
“Gleaming straw-green; a lusciously rich chardonnay, all its wares laid out before you. It needs food, but will happily accompany every dish.”
“UMAMU’s 2018 Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented yet shows little overt oak, allowing the ripe pear, melon and citrus flavors to shine. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a plump, ample richness on the palate and a long, silky finish.”
“Bright, light yellow-green hue. The aromas are passionfruit, herb and grapefruit, with pungent fruit leading the charge. The wine is likewise passionfruity on the palate, lively and zesty, with green-lime acidity and moderate length. A tickle of sweetness is more than compensated by crisp acidity and there’s a pleasant touch of firmness at the finish.”
