Haut Espoir Chardonnay 2006

This fine wooded wine has a golden green colour with characters of ripe citrus, pear and lime. Subtle oaking imparts a light toastiness producing a rich yet well balanced finish.

This Chardonnay is a delicious dry wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, or partnered with shellfish, seafood dishes, and richer dishes such as roasted white meats and risottos.
