Petaluma White Label Chardonnay 2025

One of the old school labels that made Chardonnay cool again. Lemon gold colour with green highlights. Peach fuzz, pea shoots, nougat, lemon butter, sage, orange peel and feijoa. Medium bodied, lime and feijoa fruit over lemon tart and peach slices. Offers juxtaposition with richness, a waxy texture and retains an acid lift for those that want the best of both worlds.  Drink now with chicken vol-au-vent and roast kipfler potatoes (and Dijon mustard!)
