Quails' Gate Chardonnay 2016
The Quails' Gate Chardonnay is a beautifully crafted wine with the vast majority kept in stainless steel to maintain the bright, fresh, vivid fruit notes. A small percentage was kept in older oak to add texture, mouthfeel and subtle oak influences. The wine opens with notes of peach and nectarine notes with hints of melon and pineapple. The influence of oak adds subtle notes of toast and vanilla and enriches the mouthfeel of this delightful wine. This is a very versatile food wine recommend served with roasted loin of pork, scallops, clam chowder, white fish dishes and soft creamy cheeses.
