Van Loveren Christina Chardonnay 2011

A well-balanced, single vineyard wine. Typical citrus and buttery aromas are complimented by toasty oak derived from new French oak barrels. Full, dry finish.

A serious wine to accompany fine cuisine. Good shellfish, grilled fish, rich chicken dishes and creamy pastas.
