Tasting notes
Medium lemon color, aromatic with lemon, golden delicious apple, toasted oak, lemongrass, pineapple, and chamomile. The palate is dry and crisp with ripe lemon, yellow apple, and a hint of mandarin orange fruit on the entry. Toasted oak, barrel spice, and brioche appear on the midpalate with yellow and green apple, lemongrass mixed with lingering oak and subtle salinity on the finish.
Food pairings
Fresh and balanced on the palate, the 2019 Hilliard Bruce Chardonnay is a great pairing with seared scallops in a lemon butter sauce.
