NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Hess Collection Chardonnay is a delightful white wine that showcases the classic characteristics of the Chardonnay grape.I
On the nose, this Chardonnay offers enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus and vanilla. These aromas continue onto the palate, where they are complemented by flavors of crisp apple, pear, and a touch of oak.
The wine has a well-balanced structure, with a medium to full body and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. The acidity provides a refreshing backbone, while the oak aging adds depth and complexity to the overall profile.
The Hess Collection Chardonnay is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. It can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or paired with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes. Its vibrant flavors and elegant character make it a great choice for both casual and formal occasions.
