Reserve Chardonnay 2018, DeMorgenzon – Magnum

DeMorgenzon’s show-stopping Reserve Chardonnay 2018 is an elegant and clean style Chardonnay, with just a subtle use of oak. It has a wonderful nose of hot toasted brioche and zesty marmalade.  A backbone of lime and lemongrass with floral notes of honeysuckle and frangipani follow through on the palate with a warm, rich vanilla and a creamy almond finish.

A phenomenal wine, and even more so in a glorious magnum sized bottle.

Alcohol: 13.82% ABV

Decanter “Restrained creamed corn and baked yellow apple aromatics. The palate is super juicy, plush and expressive with lots of well-judged sweet vanilla oak and tangy citrus fruit. Very good now and on the way to being better.”

    string(513) "Possibly the most famous grape variety in the world, Chardonnay has found a home in pretty much every corner of the wine world. From crisp, flinty Chablis styles to full-bodied, oaky, rich Napa Valley Chardonnay it is a variety which has the ability to morph according to the climate or winemaking philosophy. It also has the capacity to produce amongst the greatest white wines in the world. Some praise indeed for this chameleon variety, the likes of which may only truly be matched by Riesling or Chenin Blanc."
