Natalie's Score: 88/100

Smooth, creamy with ripe tropical fruit, toffee caramel flavours on the palate, buttery mouthfeel matched with vibrant acidity. I love this Chardonnay from Bonterra. Balanced and tasty with a lingering smoky and nutty finish. Pair with fresh steamed lobster in a drawn butter. Right!

Chardonnay food pairings: scallops with a sesame ginger dressing, grilled seafood, spinach and pepper jack stuffed chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

From Bonterra, this is a rich, butterscotchy Chardonnay produced from organically-farmed grapes. Smoky and spice aromas on the nose with fresh baked apple pie, tropical fruit and buttercream flavours on the palate finishing long and zesty. Pair with rich seafood dishes. - Community Wine Reviews
