This elegant Croatian Chardonnay is straw colored with gold reflections at the rim. It has aromas of lemon curd, apricot, white peach and a touch of acacia blossom in the enticing bouquet. It is soft upon entry with nice heft on the midpalate. It is very well balanced and there are flavors of lemon curd and caramelized pineapple before a nice burst of acidity in the finish.
