Medium straw in colour with bright, green tinges. Intense aromas of ripe citrus lemon and stone fruit with a hint of toasty oak interwoven with a rich and savoury palate that is complex, textural with a juicy finish. A rich, powerful and elegant wine. Eileen Hardy Chardonnay looks to preserve the essential characteristics of the fruit in the vineyard. To create the highest quality blend every vintage. Gentle handling of the fruit and wine help to achieve this, while restrained winemaking assists in developing the complexity of the final blend.
Pair this wine with a dish of John Dory and roasted stuffed shallots, hazelnut crusted chicken with fennel or salmon simply poached or with a buttery sauce.
Several of the vineyards we source Chardonnay from were planted for us at carefully selected sites, only fit for Eileen Hardy Chardonnay when at full maturity.
