2023 Queen of Swords Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L

Tarot Card:
The Queen of Swords beckons you to look at all the facts before making a decision. This queen does have compassion, which is why she has her hand reaching outwards in offering, but she wants to connect to people using an understanding that is intellectual. 

Tasting Notes:
Caramelised honey and citrus notes carry the wine through from start to finish. Notes of popcorn, walnuts, preserved lemon and finger limes are present on the nose and palate. The wine is full of texture yet crisp and refreshing with searing acidity and a bone dry finish. A nod to Ash’s time working in the Jura, the intention was to make a racy Chardonnay with tension and texture. 

Winemaking Notes:
