Laarman Focal Point Chardonnay 2021

R338.00

 

Tasting note:

Pale gold in colour with hints of green – voluptuous body with aromas of buttered toast and crème bruleé. Firm structure with a range of citrus perfumes, especially
mandarin, with a touch of ginger and a nutty character. The finish is seamless and lingers long after the last drop.

Food Pairing:

This full-bodied chardonnay pairs well with effortlessly prepared foods such as baked fish or poultry with butter and herbs. A good example will be crisp-skinned roast chicken as well as risotto and mushroom. It compliments foods with ingredients that provide an impression of sweetness, such as corn, butternut squash, sweet potatoesas well as roasted and grilled caramelised dishes.

Laarman Wines has unveiled the maiden vintage of its premium Focal Point collection, with the release of the Focal Point Chardonnay and Focal Point Cinsault, both from the 2017 vintage.
