Bellingham Ancient Earth Chardonnay 2013

Glistening gold with vibrant orange, lemon and lime cream aromas energising the palate with lively zesty tangerine and yellow peach flavours tightly woven with discreet vanilla oak that lingers gently on the fresh tangy fruit finish.

Serve chilled for easy enjoyment on its own or delicious with seared scallops drenched in lime butter, prawn tempura with ginger dipping sauce or deep dish roast chicken and leek pie.
