Kikuka Chardonnay Barrel-Aged 2022, 13%, 750 ml

You will love the complex aroma with notes of ripe apples and a light toasted aroma as the temperature rises. You will find notes of fresh apple and yellow peach on the nose, apricot, orange, white flowers, with notes of vanilla and toasted almonds from the barrels used for ageing the wine.

The first flavours evoke tropical fruits, followed by elegant oak nuances. This wine has a beautiful acidity and a delicate blend of umami flavours with roundness. It has a round, fleshy and rich impression, with a long finish. The finale is elegant, long and lingering, with a perfect balance between fruit and oak.
