"Not too showy at first but quietly rich in flavor, this full-bodied wine drizzles subtle spices of nutmeg and vanilla over a core of baked apple and ripe pear. Toasted oak, butterscotch and pineapple emerge on the lingering finish" Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2019

The 2017 Chateau Souverain Chardonnay has enticing aromas of roasted pears, lemon citrus and subtle baking spice with elegant layers of pineapple and crème brûlée flavours. This full-bodied Chardonnay offers a luscious texture and balanced acidity with a long, flavourful finish.

The Chardonnay grapes chosen for this wine were gently pressed to yield the most delicate juice possible. The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain brightness and fresh fruit character, then aged on the lees with frequent stirring. A touch of French oak aging adds layers of spice and complex toasted notes, as well as a rich mouthfeel that has become the hallmark of the Chateau Souverain Chardonnay.

Food Pairing: Match this Chardonnay with mushroom, especially a creamy mushroom Risotto or with a white mushroom pizza.
