Like sunshine in a glass, the Staglin Salus Chardonnay is bright beacon of lively yellow fruits and white flowers that radiate from the glass. Vibrant lemon wafted by jasmine is further enlivened by ripe lime zest atop a bed of fleshy pineapple and green jungle banana spiced by galangal and gentian root with hints of peppermint. While high-toned and exuberant, this impressive wine is broad and generous with gravitas provided by notes of fractured honeycomb, powdered minerals and pulverized rock that dance across a stage of phantom oak that allows it to linger and delight.
