2011 Unwooded Chardonnay | ||||||||||
|
Cool climate conditions during ripening are well suited for producing this savory style of wine: dry, tangy and refreshing. Light bodied, this wine will accompany most alfresco styled meals from seafood and poultry to pork and veal. It will suit the fresh flavors of Thai foods ideally or even a fresh tomato based Italian dish. | ||||||||||
