Like a golden peach at prime ripeness drizzled with truffle honey. Classic
Bentrock notes of apricot brioche, chamomile, and candied grapefruit peel.
Notes of ginger, sweet corn, and a floral note reminiscent of honeysuckle.
Seductive and luxurious mid-palate with a feeling of sweet cream. For all of
its more extroverted nature, it remains fresh and reserved as the finish leads
to waves of lively acidity. Full of grace and elegance with just enough
luscious nectarine and honeycomb character to push fruit throughout the
long and mouthwatering finish. Like all Bentrock chardonnay, it offers a
beautiful glimpse of our refrigerated sunshine in every glass.
