This Franciscan Chardonnay provides an inviting nose of mango, pineapple and guava with a hint of honey.On the palate, there is a good balance of acidity and lushness, with a nice mix of green apple, lemon and white peach flavors. The finish is elegant and refreshing, with a lingering hint of oak. Enjoy with seafood and poultry dishes.
