Staglin Chardonnay Salus 2017 Bottle:12 Nice nose with beautiful hints

Nice nose with beautiful hints of stone fruit

It matured for 13 months in oak barrels

Variable spring weather led to light

On the palate the wine is even more striking and shoots across like white lightning staining the tongue with lime

This includes a gentle heating of the wine in the loft of the lodges in Funchal

Staglin Chardonnay Salus 2017 Bottle:12 Nice nose with beautiful hintsBright and a touch precocious, the 2017 Salus Chardonnay is an aromatic delight of yellow citrus, apical golden apple and Bosc pear just past crisp with hints of honeysuckle, muskmelon and roasted almond. Balancing weight and lift, the powerful pomaceous fruit core is sheathed in light and energy, where flavors of sliced cantaloupe meet the abundant soft acids of ripe grapefruit and the smallest sprinkle of crystalized ginger.
