About this wine
A Chardonnay and Viognier blend from Atibaia's organically farmed vineyards in Smar Jbeil above Batroun, fermented and aged in French oak at 400 to 600 metres elevation, pale gold and creamy with dried apricot, white peach, white flowers, and a honeyed nuttiness on a fresh, lingering finish.
Open 10 minutes before serving to let the oak integrate and the aromatics open.
Tasting notes
Pale gold with a gentle green tint. The nose opens with dried apricot, white peach, and white flowers, with soft hazelnut and toasted bread from the French oak ageing. On the palate it is creamy and persistent with white peach, nougat, and a hint of honeyed oak, all underpinned by a lively freshness that keeps the wine from feeling heavy. Refined and balanced through to a lingering finish.
Goes with
Roast chicken, grilled seafood, soft cheeses like Brie, and light creamy pasta. The oak texture and fruit richness suit mild to medium-flavoured dishes equally well.
