ZD Wines California Chardonnay 2021

Product information
This wine exudes tropical aromas of juicy pineapple, kiwi, and mandarin orange. Fresh lemon zest mingles with subtle hints of vanilla, guava, and orange blossom. The palate is round, full bodied and boasts a wonderful core of bright fruit that is balanced beautifully by the subtle oak and ample natural acidity.
