Excellent with seared scallops, grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta, seafood risotto or soft-rind cheeses.
⭐ BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced Margaret River Chardonnay with fresh stone fruit, lively citrus acidity and just the right amount of oak complexity. Generous, polished and extremely drinkable, with a lovely textural finish and plenty of regional character.
