Credaro Five Tales Chardonnay 20offbastilledaycollection Skin contact in this instanceBright and fruit driven, this Chardonnay shows classic aromas of white stone fruit and melon, with complexing notes of sweet spices, roasted cashew and nougat from the careful use of oak. The palate is delicate and bright, with minerality and a grapefruit like acidity. A supple and delicate talcy texture accompanies stone fruit flavours that flow through the palate. Overall, a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with generosity and depth of flavour.
