Graham Beck Lonehill Chardonnay 2014

Brilliant, green-edged straw yellow in hue, this wine has a complex bouquet of lime, grapefruit and some peach, lifted with delicate nuances of roasted almonds, flint and nougat. On the palate the Lonehill has a most refined and sophisticated structure with concentrated flavours of citrus and white stone fruits which merge delightfully with nutty barrel ferment elements derived from its 14 months in oak.

A crisp natural acidity ensures excellent longevity. Delicious when enjoyed with grilled seafood, poultry and pork dishes.
