Howard Park ‘Flint Rock’ Chardonnay 2021 pazos-de-lusco fermentation with spontaneous yeastsThe bouquet is an enchanting mix of lemon myrtle, dusty pollen, waxy citrusand stone fruits. From lengthy time on lees, the palate is supple yet rich in flavours of patisserie and nutmeal, freshened with bright citrus, ripe peach and melon. The fine savoury note and mineral acidity, so characteristic of the region, shapes the wine and gives a long finish.
