Taste: In the glass, it shows a pale straw hue with light green reflections. Aromas open with lemon peel, white peach, and a hint of pear, layered with acacia blossom and a faint suggestion of toasted almond. The palate is clean and medium-light in body.
Pairing: This Chardonnay’s bright acidity and restrained oak influence make it versatile with both seafood and lighter poultry dishes. Its citrus and orchard-fruit profile aligns well with dishes like seared halibut with lemon-caper butter, roasted chicken with tarragon and shallots, or a simple leek and potato gratin.
