LOrmarins Chardonnay 2004

An elegant Chardonnay made in a lighter style. Beautiful balance and integration between the predominantly fruit character and the secondary wood characteristics. Shows aromas of citrus, lemon and lime with a delicate hint of vanilla.

Most enjoyable with carpaccio cut from veal or fresh tuna, paella with prawns and lobster, crab cakes with coriander pesto as well as herb-roasted chicken.
