This stealth Chardonnay has a refined nose and a fresh palate. The effusive, lightly oaked wine opens with a nose of vanilla and clove baking spice, ripe green apple, roasted pear and dried lemon peel. Surprising, tangy green fruit and acidity refresh the palate, which completes with a lemon-citrus finish. Pair with seafood and fried fare.
