Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay displays a beautiful pale gold color. The nose is intricate and focused. Delicate scents of yellow stone fruit, lime, and flinty minerality emerge. The palate is precise, fresh, and beautifully textured. Flavors of golden delicious apple, quince, and salted caramel define the taste. A lovely saline finish provides great length and tension. Winemakers ferment the wine naturally in French oak. This approach maintains purity of fruit.
