Nurturing potential and harnessing elegance to create an expression of Chardonnay that is true to its origin. The No11 express itself with clarity giving aromas of white peach, moreish flinty notes, delicate scent of cedar, toastiness, with a touch of sweet vanilla. Concentration of taste supported by tension and volume. Textural yet creamy and elegant, with a linear long finish.
