Petaluma Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay
Petaluma Tiers Chardonnay
Crafted from the fruit of the very first Chardonnay vines of the Piccadilly Valley, Petaluma Tiers Chardonnay flaunts a perfect pale straw colour. Fermented in new French oak barriques, this Chardy gives off aromas of ripe white peach on the bouquet, followed by hints of almond, cinnamon and nectarine. The multi-layered & creamy palate displays wonderful stone fruit flavours and minerality, leading to a long, nutty and viscous finish balanced by lemon-lime acidity. The wine goes well with mushrooms, roast chicken and salmon dishes.
