Tasting Notes
The Ruta Chardonnay is bright pale yellow with soft golden undertones on appearance. The nose holds wonderful ripe fruit notes of peach and apricot with crisp apple and a hint of honey. The grapes are treated protectively to promote the fresh fruit character in the final wine. The palate has expressive ripe fruit with a medium body and silky finish.

As an aperitif or with salads and seafood and dishes with white meat.
