Hedges Family Estate C.M.S. Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, USA 2020 Sake - Nihonshu (Japanese) focused palate is perfectly balancedLight straw colour. Aromas of pear and apple with hints of banana, pineapple, lychee, straw, licorice and custard. The palate is full with fruit sweetness and nicely rounded viscosity balanced by crisp acidity and pear and apple fruits with a caramel note. No buttery oak here. A clean and pure expression of Chardonnay fruit.
