2017 Estate Chardonnay

A world-class wine made by winemaker Tony Rynders, the 2017 Open Claim Chardonnay is loaded with texture and weight with good underlying tension. Brioche and Japanese pear flavors combine wth salted macadamia nut and lychee. Exotic, big and burly, don’t serve this beauty too cold! Highly enjoyable now, enjoy over the next eight years.
