An excellent 2018 Chardonnay here from New Zealand's Pyramid Valley, released as part of its Botanical Collection. The name comes from the dominant meadow plant growing in the specific vineyard where these Chardonnay grapes came from (planted by founders Claudia and Mike Weersing). This one is named after a different name for dandelions (though it still incorporates lions, which we appreciate as fans of the animal and the chocolate bar).
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Mineral-rich and flinty at first, though soon enough a rush of fresh nectarine and apricot bring juicy sweetness to the table.
