Waterford Estate Chardonnay, 2019

Medium to full-bodied, green apple, citrus, nice texture with lovely acidity

“Instantly impressive in the glass with seductive notes of oak, yellow and green apples with sweet citrus, the 2019 Single Vineyard Chardonnay is layered and elegant. Medium to full-bodied, complex and fresh, the palate displays impeccable texture with succulent acidity that ends with a food-friendly finish. Chardonnay lovers around the globe will love this beauty, and it reminds me of the Sonoma style of Chardonnay from California. Nicely done! I want more.” Robert Parker 92/100 points
