Chardonnay
Pronounced: Shar-don-nay
"From the vine, to you, with love"
Lots of melons and peaches (but not the tinned kind).
Chardonnay when made in this fresh, leaner style is a lovely
summery drink. Forget the flabby Chardonnay wines of yesteryear,
this is the modern incarnation of the variety with plenty to enjoy
in its youth. Melons, white peach and a hint of nutty complexity
drive a soft textured palate but in the end it's just a wonderful
drink. Anything but Chardonnay is a thing of the past!
- Aroma:
- Cashew nuts, rockmelon and white peach.
- Flavour:
- A rush of peach and melon is met by more of the nuttiness from the bouquet. This is a lithe, seamless white wine. Serve with roast quail, pork chops or salad Nicoise.
Chardonnay is considered a ‘noble’ variety and is found in some of the world's fanciest wines, including Champagne.
Sunshine, a picnic in the park and rainbows, oh and it’s excellent with roast chicken.
