Winemaker’s notes

This wine fresh and keen wine is made of 100% Chardonnay. It offers a penetrating subtle aroma that brings wonder to the highly refined royal palace. The nose has depth of aromatics, displaying hazelnut, vanilla and citrus notes. The palate is dry, medium to full bodied, with a thread of acidity that dances across the palate bringing balance to the concentration of fruit. The complex flavors unravel on the palate and linger on, the hallmark of a fine wine.

Food and wine pairing: this pairs perfectly with white fish, chicken, pasta in a cream sauce, and is a lovely way to end a meal with some soft goat’s cheese
