The River Garden Chardonnay 2011

Pineapple and lemon blossom flavours on the nose with vibrant fresh fruit on the palate. Clean and elegant.

It is a refreshingly versatile wine that will go with a range of foods from gently flavoured risottos and pastas such as spaghetti to salads, oysters or plainly cooked fish dishes. It can also be enjoyed outdoors with your favourite picnic. Best served slightly chilled but not too cold.
