The Terraces Optimus Chardonnay, 2025

This wine has that elegance of modern chardonnay, but it still retains the richness and complexity that comes with the original wine-making style, which revolves around wild fermentation and maturation with regular stirring in French oak, all designed to bring in complexity and depth within a textured framework. The aromas lift with typical nectar and stone fruit-like subtleties. A little lemon rind edginess and some smooth, creamy cashew. The palate is neatly harnessed with fine acidity. And a slightly savory minerally combination that carries through to the finish.
