Paul Cluver Chardonnay has lots of buttered toast or brioche on the nose with some bright lemon and grapefruit citrus aspects, too. Tangerine fruit and blossom aromas are apparent, with hints of vanilla pod and nutty, flaked almonds. These characteristics follow through onto the palate. The fine, fresh acidity and adds poise and focus to the wine and balances out the deft use of oak. Everything you want from a well made, oaked Chardonnay.
