Tasting Notes:

In the glass, the 3 Devils Chardonnay of 2022 gleams with a pale golden hue, sparkling in the light. The nose is inviting and fresh, with aromas of ripe stone fruits like juicy peach and crisp green apple, alongside bright citrus notes. It’s a scent that immediately suggests a refreshing and enjoyable experience.

On the palate, the wine delivers a burst of flavours that dance on the tongue. Green apple and peach take center stage, offering crisp, fruity freshness that’s both lively and satisfying. The light oak influence adds a gentle touch of complexity, enhancing the wine’s structure without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. This results in a harmonious, balanced profile that is both refreshing and elegant.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Grilled Seafood: The crisp acidity and light oak of this Chardonnay make it a perfect match for grilled fish, prawns, or scallops, bringing out the delicate flavours of the seafood.
• Fresh Salads: Pair with fresh green salads, especially those with citrus-based dressings, to complement the wine’s bright, zesty notes.
• Creamy Pastas: The subtle oak and refreshing fruitiness make this Chardonnay an ideal companion for creamy pasta dishes like fettuccine Alfredo or seafood pasta.
• Cheese: Enjoy with soft cheeses such as Brie or goat cheese, as the wine’s acidity and oak add a perfect balance to the creamy textures.
