Delheim Chardonnay Sur Lie 2021

The wine showcases a light vibrant golden colour with citrus and stone fruit on the nose and subtle oak spice. The palate is well balanced with a medium-bodied structure with the creamy notes from the oak not overpowering the elegant fruit ending on a fresh acidity note. Enjoy this wine with a local yellowtail on the grill or a Dijon-Tarragon creamy chicken dish.
