2017 Adastra Chardonnay
Description
A delicious, complex wine with fruit aromas that include citrus, white peach, green apple and pear, along with hints of allspice, brioche and toasty oak. A textured palate includes fruit, mineral and oak components. Very well-balanced, pairs well with many cuisines, including fish, white meat and certain vegetarian dishes.
