Description
In a nutshell:
Smooth Californian Chardonnay with subtle oak notes - a versatile crowd-pleaser.
The lowdown:
A Californian Chardonnay which is all about fresh orchard fruits - imagine biting into a juicy pear or peach. There's a lovely seaside saltiness and a hint of toasted nuts in the aroma. It tastes of those stone fruits with a subtle, almost flinty edge that adds a bit of intrigue. They've been clever with the oak - just a touch for a hint of toast, so the fruit really shines through. The grapes come from Monterey, where cool Pacific breezes keep things lively, giving the wine a vibrant zip on the finish.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for this wine, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've since gone on to produce their own wines from places like the Rhône Valley, Italy, South Africa and many other places. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
A crisp and versatile Chardonnay, it's delightful as a refreshing drink on its own, but also pairs beautifully with comforting dishes. Think roast chicken with all the trimmings, a creamy mushroom pasta, or a hearty fish pie.
Suitable for Vegans
