Refreshingly zesty, this is an aromatic Australian dry white with classic lime-zesty characters of riesling enhanced by a refreshing spritz on the palate and zingy acidity. As full-bodied as an Alsace riesling.

This dry white from Fabrice Lesne delivers peachy chardonnay, nutty oak and minerally flavours, with the richness and intensity you expect from old-vine chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune.
