Hill Smith Estate Chardonnay 2013

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. The nose opens with fresh nectarine and citrus top notes which are overlaid by funky flinty matchstick characters followed by some biscuity cashew and spice. Very classy, refined and complex the palate has a layered textural feel featuring flavours of white peach and ripe pear intermeshed with struck match stick characters, cashew, faint nougat and subtle mineral. Clean dry finish. Long aftertaste of white peach, cashew, nougat and flinty struck matchstick characters.
