Graham Beck Waterside Chardonnay 2009

Beautiful lime-green hue. Wonderful fresh tropical fruit with hints of lemon drops on the nose. Good firm acidity with an elegant refreshing palate of citrus and melon flavours and a delightfully crisp finish.

Good company for Alfresco lunches and also great with grilled chicken, crustaceans and pan-fried fresh fish.
