Selectively sourcing only the very best chardonnay fruit from the cool-climate harvest season, coupled with clever winemaking, the style continues to evolve. The grapes for this vintage were allowed to ripen a bit more on the vines, that showed a wavering complexity as compared to its predecessors.

On the palate, a creamier, gentler mouthfeel welcomes you with bright notes of tropical fruits, peach, nectarine and a slightly reduced, yet refreshing acidity.

This Chardonnay emanates fresh, crisp notes of pear, guava, lemon-peel, pine-apple, and vanilla. To engage the versatility of the grape, this vintage has seen a slight oak influence that has rendered a wine of luscious, creamy texture and lingering intensity. The overall taste of the wine makes for a great food companion that won’t disappoint even the most discerning palate!

The last vintage of the signature Chardonnay from the House of KRSMA Estates, this wine saw aging in oak barrels for 3 months, an attempt to marry fruity varietal characters with some oak notes.
The oak leaves a lovely waxiness, a whiff of cashew, and subtle creaminess. Further adding to this, the ripe nectarine, fresh peach, and the zesty acidity make for a spectacular wine, one that will stay on in our memory as one of the pinnacle whites from our winery!
