"The 2016 Chardonnay Saralee’s Vineyard reveals lemon meringue pie, applesauce and quince notes with touches of allspice lightly browned toast and honeycomb. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it packs in the apple and citrus pie flavours with a gorgeous creaminess to the texture and a very long, honeyed finish. 1,500 cases were produced."
