I like Chardonnay that straddles that line of oak flavour and fruit … Between the Lines must feel the same way as this reserve spent 8-10 months in 500L French oak (all new) but they also added 30% aged in stainless steel. There’s a freshness here with a fruitiness of peach, pear, apple and a sweetness that can only be referred to as fruit-derived. The oak kisses the fruit allowing it to shine adding hints of spice and retains great acidity for balance. Price: $21.95 – Rating: ****
