Delheim Chardonnay Sur Lie 2019

This Chardonnay has a light vibrant gold colour. Crisp apples, citrus, stone fruit and quince with subtle nuances of oak on the nose, follows through on the subtle, but well-structured palate. Elegant and well-balanced with a mineral touch on the finish.

Enjoy with a local yellowtail on the grill or a DijonTarragon creamy chicken dish.
