Muratie Isabella Chardonnay 2014

This complex and intriguing wine starts to bewitch and beguile your senses before the glass is even raised. Breathe in the heady scents of caramelized pineapples, hazelnuts, citrus fruit and cream before taking a mouthful of ripe, yellow tropical fruits, marmalade and lemon meringue pie flavours supported by creamy spice and vanilla all of which linger together into an endless finish.

Pair it with only the very best – perhaps the freshest of fish, simply grilled with fragrant, homemade lemon butter.
