Delheim Chardonnay Sur Lie 2022

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