Hidden Bench Felseck Chardonnay , 2019

"Brilliant pale gold in colour, this wine opens with aromas of toasted hazelnuts, vanilla poached pears and white flower blossom. True to form, this vintage expresses flavours of fresh nectarine, yellow melon, and salted caramel, with the salinity and struck match mineral essence integrated into subtle toasted character from the wine’s 18 month élevage. A finely textured wine with impeccable balance and a long, lingering finish, this wine will reward 3 to 5 years of careful cellaring. Butter poached lobster tail or risotto with in-season corn, smoked bacon and seared Atlantic scallops would make ideal pairings for this elegant Chardonnay."
