Review:
“This summer weather wine has a steely purity and a limestony mineral quality that makes it unique and food friendly – this style of chardonnay is like a rocket booster for food – ready to give lift.”

Perfect With:
Unencumbered by oaky sweetness, it sends oysters into orbit and peirces the richness of fattier fish. Its flinty personality harmonizes with dishes normally in the path of Sauvignon Blanc, including food with ‘green’ components like spinach or asparagus.
