The tasting notes reveal aromas of ripe citrus, pear, and a hint of floral undertones, accompanied by flavors of lemon zest, stone fruit, and a touch of vanilla from subtle oak aging. On the palate, it is crisp with a creamy texture and a refreshing minerality that lingers in a long finish. Its structured acidity complements the fruit-driven profile, making it bright and layered.
Pairing
For food pairing, this Chardonnay works beautifully with seafood dishes like grilled prawns, as well as creamy poultry dishes. Its acidity and subtle richness also make it a great match for mushroom risotto.
