Domaine Eden, Chardonnay, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz

Heady stone-fruits nose; has power and vividness. Rich and glossy on the palate with peach and cream flavours. Will please many as it pulls off the full-bodied act very well while retaining freshness and clarity.

Depth and concentration are the hallmarks of this wine, which isn't made every year, but it also has a wonderful brightness, mint and citrussy aromas, with a harmonious, complex finish. Wow.

A very classy Chardonnay made in a Burgundian style, with notes of ripe apple and white peach and very fine use of oak. It has depth, tension, a great mouthfeel and a well-integrated fine oak character. It’s a lovely mix between new world fruit intensity and old world acidity and minerality. A must-try wine.
