Drostdy Hof Chardonnay/Viognier 2006

The crisp, lemony notes and creamy flavours of the Viognier are balanced beautifully by the citrus character of the Chardonnay to make for a full-bodied, mouth-filling wine. The wine is pale yellow with green tinges.

This refreshing white wine is the perfect taste partner to white meat dishes and salads.
