Winemaker Notes
Pale straw with green tinges in color, this wine opens with aromas of honeysuckle and tropical fruits such as paw paw. There is a touch of complexity from the wild fermentation, just enough to let you know that under the pretty façade is a fun and adventurous wine. The palate is an alluring combination of fresh fruits, spices such as white pepper and just enough "wildness" to keep you coming back for another glass. It finishes with a fresh cleansing line of citrus zest.
Try with slow roasted pork belly with pear coleslaw.

A solid effort at a bargain price makes this Chardonnay doubly appealing. It's medium bodied, delivering oodles of pineapple-tinged fruit and finishing clean and refreshing.
