Details
This is a lean white blend of 50/50 Chardonnay and Macabeo (or Viura) with a lovely mineral, grapefruit accent. The palate is supple and round, with fleshy notes of lemon and a touch of passionfruit leading to a tight, gravelly finish. Easy-drinking stuff with a pretty 'fancy' label!
Origin: Burgundy, in eastern France. Mainly Grown In: France, USA, Australia, Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, NZ… all over, really! Key Facts: Chardonnay is one flexible, sassy grape. It grew up in a place called Burgundy in France, and has travelled to California, Australia, other parts of France, South America... all over the world basically. It can be zesty and fresh in cooler climates, and richer and creamier in warmer ones. It's also one of the few white varieties that performs just as well when treated with oak as it does without. This winemaking change can also affect the body and texture of the wine, leading to a totally different drinking experience. So remember, not all Chardonnays are alike, but we've picked only the best ones for you :) Fun Fact: Chardonnay with oak is typically more golden in colour than Chardonnay with no (or less) oak.

Pairing guide
True to its label, this beautiful Chardonnay from the ever-reliable Bodega Esteban Martin provides no shortage of luxurious and opulent flavours, matched by a racy modern freshness that’s ideal for food pairing perfection. This stunning wine is a fantastic match for avocado and smoked salmon brunch dishes, and will pair just as happily with shellfish like lobster, crab, and mussels. Sea bass, cod, and other white fish will work well here, as will tender pork fillet cooked in a creamy sauce.
