Saint Seine Chardonnay 2007 from France / Gallo Chardonnay 2005 from California
6:09pm Thursday 19th June 2008
Two wines this week, both chardonnay but from two different continents - old and new world.
The French wine is crystal clear, fresh and aromatic, almost a new world style. It's rich and medium-bodied with 13 per cent alcohol. You can enjoy this as an aperitif or with fish, salads or starters - on promotion at £5.99 at Morrisons.
The Californian wine is a bit classy (Gallo do make some) - another of Morrisons' stock at £9.99 but soon to be on offer at £6.99.
It's from the Coastal region so expect well balanced acidity with an intense varietal character. There are flavours of apple, peach and citrus fruits with a hint of tasty vanilla ideal with chicken but also a fair match for baked salmon or seafood.
