Description
A lively combination of fresh lemon and lime aromas on the nose with scented white flowers, subtle marzipan and shavings of orange zest, all underpinned by flinty minerality. Superbly elegant in style with layers of zesty lime confit, some green melon, pistachio and an enticing seashell minerality that flows from the nose to the palate. The fine structure is complemented by remarkably refreshing acidity and a rich creamy texture. The finish is long, precise and very mineral.
Food Pairing
Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.
