Geoff Merrill Georgie May Chardonnay
Colour The colour is a brilliant pale straw with youthful green hues. Aroma A very clean peach and nectarine note comes forward with kaffir lime and fresh cucumber lift. Palate The palate begins with a gentle and delicate melon flavour which grown and fills the mouth with nectarine, mandarin and lime flavours with a fine creamy texture. The finish is long and fruit juicy leaving you wanting more. Food Pairing “Enjoy with roast chicken, light duck and quail dishes, margherita or prosciutto and pizza, tempura prawns and chicken Caesar salad.”
