The 2015 'Luminus' Chardonnay was aged for 9 months in 30% French oak prior to bottling and has slightly less oak treatment than the ‘Private Reserve’ bottling. Sourced from the Oak Knoll district this possesses wonderful aromatics of sliced apple, vanilla cream and crème brûlée. Balanced and poised this shows a gorgeous rich texture with flavors of bosc pear, lemon and vanilla crème flavors that sit alongside lovely acidity. (Best 2017-2022) - September, 2017 (OB)
