Stratus Chardonnay 2021

This wine spent just over 10 months in neutral French oak barrels to round out the edges while preserving nuance, character and verve. It opens up with aromas of lemon oil, wet stone, hazelnut, gingersnap, fresh cream and freesia, while the palate delivers ripe pear, baked apple and spice, all lifted by brilliant acidity. Pair with alfredo pasta, grilled chicken, or freshwater fish. 750 mL bottle
