La Stella 2023 Leggiero Chardonnay 750ml

The 2023 Leggiero is made from old vines grown on our Eagle Bluff vineyard and Iverson Vineyard in the heart of the Golden Mile. It offers a balance of green apple, quince, bergamot, and key lime. The palate is chiselled with a great burst of lime zest and tart pear. 2023 was a warm growing season with very low yields. Early picking on our end means there is extra crispness and finesse to this wine than in a typical 2023.

Pairings:
Di Carne
Fresh oysters with mignonette and a squeeze of lemon is a no brainer. Steamed mussels in a coconut, ginger & lemongrass broth is another winning combination.

Vegetariano / Vegano
Roasted butternut squash with toasted pine nuts or a vegetarian pasta with a chunky tomato basil sauce.
