Wine Review: This pale gold colored Chardonnay opens with a honeysuckle, golden apple and lemon square bouquet with a hint of lime. On the palate, this wine is pleasant and medium bodied with bright acidity. We also found it to be balanced and round. The flavor profile is a blend of green apple and honeyed lemon with hints of gooseberry and light oak. The finish fades away nicely with some pleasant minerality towards the end. We would pair this Chard with chicken and pasta dish with a creamy lemon sauce. – Stuart & Karen

Winemaker Notes: Golden-hued with a shimmering lightness, this wine features fresh scents of lemon zest and the nectar of peaches and apricots. A hint of brioche adds additional interest to the nose, along with a mineral character that evokes the clean, earthy aroma of wet rock. Entry on the palate is broad, filling the mouth with lemon/lime and flavors of nectar echoing the nose. Integrated wood mingles with the slight saltiness of an ocean breeze. This wine’s roundness is balanced by its lively acidity, which lingers on the invigorating finish.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Sea Sun 2018 Chardonnay.
