Lynette is the premium Chardonnay. Aged in large French oak barrels (30% new). Aromas of citrus and stone fruit with hints of cardamom. Medium to full-bodied on the palate with a buttery texture and mineral notes.
Awards
Poached-pear and peach aromas here, as well as a more savory, nutty edge. The palate has rich nougat-like flavors, together with poached peaches and baked apples. Drink now.
