Vivid, succulent, smooth and sapid unoaked Chardonnay (13.5%ABV).
Private project by Alexey Tolstoy, winemaker of Usadba Divnomorskoe estate.

Glittering soft light gold in color.
Seducing bouquet of biscuits/cookies, grassy whiff, soaked apples, pineapple, white grapefruit, apricot, jasmine.
Medium+ bodied rounded palate, silky and fruit-forward. Apple, white grapefruit, pineapple, pleasant bitterness, kumquat, nougat, white plum. 
Slight (pleasant) bitterness on finish scented by pineapple, orange peels, white plum.
Would be fine as aperitif and if paired to fish courses.
