Bartinney Chardonnay 2013

Our Chardonnay displays a bouquet of lifted apricot blossom, lemon and suggestions of vanilla and oak. The palate shows prominent pineapple and ripe pear characters, interlaced with chalky acidity. This wine is creamy and nutty with a soft refined palate and finishes with great intensity.

Try pairing with creamy prawn and saffron tagliatelle or poached salmon with caper butter sauce.
