This beautiful and very rich Chardonnay from winery Hahn has exuberant aromas of tropical fruit, apricots and caramel. The wine is very well substantiated with fresh acids (granny smith apple and citrus fruit) and is supported by balanced wood tones. A pure, firm, rich wine from 100% carefully hand-picked chardonnay grapes.
The vines for this Hahn Chardonnay grow at the foot of the Santa Lucia Highlands on siliceous, alluvial soil. The famous fog in combination with the sea breeze provide an excellent condition in this area for the grapes to mature slowly. This makes the wines more intense, tastier, deeper and with more structure. Wijnhuis Hahn uses modern, temperature-controlled vinification techniques and ripens the wine on French oak.
This Chardonnay is delicious with cold starters, white meat and poultry, pasta and fish dishes such as grilled sea bass with herb butter, poached halibut or fried sole. Also delicious with a Caesar salad.
