100% Chardonnay. The nose is light with delicate florals and a touch of citrus. The palate is dry and best enjoyed chilled or as an aperitif. Can be drunk very young but can also be kept up to 5 years if stored in good conditions. Pairs fantastically with hors d'oeuvres, fried or grilled fish, sea food, goat's milk cheese, cold cuts and poultry.
