Hess The Lioness Chardonnay 2016

The 2016 Chardonnay The Lioness Estate was barrel aged and matured for around 16 months before being packaged unfined and unfiltered. It highlights ready grapefruit, pineapple and white peach aromas with clues of beeswax, toasted almonds and lemongrass. Full-bodied, concentrated and wantonly fruited, the palate includes a superbly invigorating line of freshness and a finish that is rich and long.

The Lioness pays tribute to the ladies of the Hess Family who currently lead the pride. This Chardonnay mixes the bounty and intensity of Napa Valley with a light-footed pinch of winemaking to exhibit the home natural product. This Wine possesses a great deal of adjusted extravagance, offering a full-bodied, delicate grasp of caramel and crème brûlée flavors. Striking and lovely, it will engage fanatics of a meaty style.
