Coming from two sites planted above 400m, this Chardonnay is a beauty. Showing vivid aromas as soon as you open the bottle, the fun continues on the palate. Lemon, cucumber and straw are accompanied by toast and butter, making for a creaminess and brightness straight down the line. It’s salty and zippy in the mouth, so pairs well with foods such as fish, cheese or chicken.
