"Discover the quality of New Zealand terroirs through this sublime Chardonnay!"
« Un blanc moyennement corsé avec des morceaux de pommes pochées, de poires, un soupçon de crème et de pâte à tarte. Il est croquant, avec une certaine tension phénolique et une finale concentrée. À boire ou à conserver. » (James Suckling 2024) • Capsule à vis
