Thorne & Daughters Menagerie Chardonnay

Thorne & Daughters Menagerie Chardonnay reads as a study in quiet precision. Aromas lean toward green apple flesh, underripe pineapple core, and lime blossom, followed by subtle hints of wet straw and raw hazelnut. On the palate it’s sleek and mineral, with flavors of pomelo, cucumber peel, and river stone, guided by brisk acidity and a faintly savory, tea-leaf finish. Understated, dry, and distinctly Cape in its poise, it rewards attention rather than demanding it.
