Tasting notes 

Brilliant and clean light-yellow color with delicate copper shades. 42/25 Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc reveals a gorgeous bouquet of fruity aromas of yellow apple, ripe pear, juicy lemon, and red grapefruit, enhanced by lush notes of white flowers and elegant buttery vanilla tone as a result of oak fermentation. 

In the mouth the wine is light, fresh, and mineral, perfectly balanced with a pronounced taste of ripe fruit, peach blossom, and oak notes. The mineral and medium-lasting finish ends in an oily-citrusy aftertaste.

Serving and food pairing 

Great as an aperitif or in combination with poultry, fish, seafood, vegetables. Excellent match for seafood risotto or rice with light cream sauce; pizza and pasta with chicken and vegetables; grilled chicken with vegetables; grilled fish, especially oily fish such as sardines and mackerel with fresh salad or vegetable puree; salads with chicken, fish, ham or cheese. 

Serve at 9-11C°, in Unoaked Chardonnay wine glass (tall stem, large bowl, wide rim) or regular White wine glass.
