NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Murphy-Goode Chardonnay is a delightful white wine that showcases the classic characteristics of a well-made Chardonnay.On the nose, this Chardonnay presents a bouquet of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, intertwined with hints of citrus and a touch of vanilla. These aromas create an inviting and refreshing experience.
The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance of flavors. The tropical fruit notes continue to shine, accompanied by a subtle creaminess and a touch of oak. The wine's medium body and vibrant acidity contribute to a smooth and enjoyable mouthfeel.
Murphy-Goode Chardonnay is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its bright acidity makes it a great match for seafood, particularly grilled shrimp or scallops. It also complements creamy pasta dishes and roasted chicken beautifully.
