NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Rivera Preludio No.1 Chardonnay is an elegant and complex white with aromas of honey, melon, and lemon-citrus. On the palate, it has a creamy texture with flavors of ripe peach, tropical fruits, and a hint of oak. The finish is long and lingering with a light touch of minerality. Perfectly balanced, this is a delightful white wine that will pair perfectly with grilled fish or roasted chicken.
