NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Five Stones Chardonnay offers an alluring bouquet of lemon zest, white nectarine, and a whisper of roasted hazelnut.The palate reveals a captivating interplay of ripe citrus, honeydew melon, and a touch of butterscotch, wrapped in a silky texture and underscored by a distinct flinty minerality. Ideal companions include seared scallops, creamy risotto, or a fresh crab salad. Serve chilled, and it will reward with its vibrant flavors over the next 3-5 years.
