Darling Cellars Quercus Gold Darling Chardonnay Reserve 2011 82 Points
Bright, pale with green reflections.
Clean, moderate intensity, lemony, green orange, pears, delicate white flowers, hints of granite minerals, subtle oaking.
Interesting to note that the wine contain 15% Viognier, hardly noticeable and very well integrated.
Dry, crisp, with medium plus acidity, zesty grapefruit note, delicately juicy, moderate alcohol of 13.5% abv, yet feels slightly higher, crunchy profile, good linearity, pure.
