Tasting

"A profile built on freshness for the nose of this Chardonnay, between white fruit (pear), spice and the exotic sweetness of coconut. Ten months in barrel with stirring brings a fine roundness to the palate, reinforced by the toasted vanilla of the wood, which melts perfectly into the wine, with the fine minerality of the terroir running underneath. How about an asparagus risotto?"
