Graham Beck Lonehill Chardonnay 2008

A golden straw colour with a youthful lime green tinge. Great impact of warm brioche and roasted almonds on
the nose with hints of honeysuckle and lime. A fresh zesty palate with muesli nuttiness and rounded tones of citrus and cumquats finishes with lingering butterscotch and an elegant creamy texture.

This elegant but rich wine is ideal for food pairing. Enjoy with rich game fish, mixed seafood and poultry.
