I never drank Chardonnay based on my prior knowledge of the typical Cali overoaked, overly creamy chards. Then I moved to France and spent two years working in burgundy. I’m pretty much Chardonnay obsessed now. With a low budget I wanted to try something a little different and expand my palate. The wine was so unique, it was lightly oaked, and had a fascinating, curious nose and palate of sherry, which was pleasantly surprising- almost reminiscent of a slight oxidation, which helps to express the low intervention and naturalness of the juice.
