Brewer - Clifton 3D Chardonnay wine is a superior Californian offering, recognisable for its captivating richness and unique depth. The wine showcases an exquisite balance of ripe stone fruit flavours and refreshing minerality, demonstrating the winemaking excellence of the label. Aromas of citrus zest and white peach emerge with hints of brioche, adding a nuanced complexity. Unfolding in a rich and rounded palate, it maintains engaging acidity that underpins its fresh, vibrant character. Genteel on the finish, this chardonnay exudes an elegant butteriness, a testament to its ageing in French oak. This wine promises a truly indulgent sipping experience.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of ocean air and lemon, flavours of lemon curd and honey with mineral, savoury, almost salty notes and rich, texture you can wrap your tongue around. Intense with very long length, this is a killer Chardonnay that is drinking well now but would no doubt be even better in 10 years’ time.
