NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This McManis Chardonnay is a bright and pleasant white wine with aromas of fresh green apple, melon, and tropical fruit.On the palate, it is medium-bodied and creamy, with flavors of citrus, green apple, and honey. The finish is crisp, yet balanced with a nice lingering acidity. Enjoy this refreshing Chardonnay with grilled fish or a light summer salad.
