NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Salmon Run Chardonnay - Riesling is a delightful blend of two popular white grape varieties.This wine offers a harmonious combination of the richness and creaminess of Chardonnay with the vibrant acidity and aromatic qualities of Riesling.
On the nose, expect enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus zest and floral notes.
Flavors of juicy peaches, zesty lemons, and tangy green apples dominate, while a touch of honeyed sweetness from the Riesling adds depth and complexity.
The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of tropical fruits and a hint of minerality. This wine is best enjoyed chilled and pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, particularly grilled salmon or shrimp scampi. It also complements creamy pasta dishes and soft cheeses.
