I was amayed by the fresh conditions of this Chardonnay. It is from limestone area of Palava hills, for me the best appellation for whites in South Moravia. Cork (single piece) was almost soaked through, but was was brilliant. For the sahpe of the bottle please refer to my previous tasting of Pinot Blanc from the same producer and vintage here.
