Zuccardi Los Olivos Chardonnay

Zuccardi Los Olivos ChardonnayThe Los Olivos Chardonnay is an excellent example of Chardonnay, made by highly esteemed producer Zuccardi. On the nose, it presents a blend of citrus and stone fruit aromas, with notes of lemon zest, green apple and peach. Flavours of ripe pear and citrus dominate, with a touch of creaminess that suggests some lees ageing and oak influence, although it is not overpowering. The finish is clean and relatively long considering the price tag. This wine
