TASTING NOTE: The Bright is a Chardonnay that shows bright green/gold color with a bright core, and primary nose aromas of citrus blossom, neroli and yellow peaches. Secondary to that is a savoury sea-spray, almost chalklike, aroma harnessed with a gentle oak inclusion. On the palate the wine is well balanced with a soft mouthfeel and a crisp
acidity that give the wine great length.

"Our Bright Chardonnay is perfectly paired with a light summer salad, any type of poultry, and is delicious with fatty tuna or salmon."- Winemaker
You could try it with a pork dish, like pork chops fried in butter or you could treat yourself to an indulgent meal of lobster or shrimp slathered in a creamy sauce. Toasted flavors, like salty roasted nuts, pair well for a snack, and it is divine with any cream-based pasta dish.
