Considered the queen of white grapes, Chardonnay is the main French white variety grown mainly in the areas of Burgundy, Chablis and Champagne. In Argentina, within the foothills of the Andes Mountains is where our Chardonnay hales from. This area produces deep delicate white wines of remarkable persistence and balance. Its particular trait is its pale yellow color with green highlights. Its aroma is reminiscent of fresh fruit, such as apples, or flowers.
Crisp acidity and flavors: fresh apples and grapefruit, Meyer lemon, fresh cut grass and spicy vanilla. A vibrant and lively finish.
Grilled scallops, seasonal salads, brie cheese, broiled halibut and herb-roasted chicken.
