HILTON Carolus Magnus Rex Chardonnay 2022

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

Pale bright gold - with a whiff of cream, lime and citrus, on the nose, a layering of judicious oak maturation on the palate. Tropical notes abound and display white starfruit, pear and bergamot. Rich, concentrated, with mouth-watering appeal, this full bodied yet soft wine will round out to become even longer and more lingering.
