Donnachadh Family Vineyards Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2019 Lynch-Bages More viscosity than you'd assume

More viscosity than you'd assume from a northern Italian white

it showcases a lively acidity balanced with a creamy texture

with a real sense of gravitas to the dark red stone fruit

Donnachadh Family Vineyards Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2019 Lynch-Bages More viscosity than you'd assumeEnticing aromas of buttercream, cake batter and macadamia nut are clean and light on the nose of this bottling.
