France

In the glass:

Bright pale straw with a watery hint of green around the rim. 

Nose:

Pleasing aromas of Eureka lemon dominated the nose and followed through to the plate, filling the mouth with citrus and a little mineral. 

Finish:

There was just a hint of creamy rounded Chardonnay on the nicely balanced lemon – lime finish.

The wine has a certain charm, it was smooth in the mouth offering a little complexity, although I would drink this wine sooner rather than later, best enjoyed while still young I think.

All in all, I found this Chardonnay to have a depth of fruit, finishing a little differently with a glimpse of almond on the back plate. 

Easy to drink and offering value for money…

the Rot has set in.

The Food:

This wine would work well with any white meat that includes shellfish.  I personally enjoyed it with creamy goat’s cheese topped with white anchovies on Vita Weat Crispbread.            

As that was the extent of my culinary skills for the day.
