Rawson's Retreat Chardonnay is likely to be a fruit-driven wine with flavors of tropical fruits like pineapple, peach, and melon, as well as citrus notes like lemon and lime. Depending on the winemaking process, it may undergo some oak aging, which can add complexity, vanilla, and toasty notes to the wine. Chardonnay is known for its ability to pair well with many foods due to its moderate acidity and diverse flavor profile. It can complement dishes such as grilled chicken, seafood, pasta with creamy sauces, and even some lighter cheeses. As with all wines, the specific characteristics of Rawson's Retreat Chardonnay may vary from vintage to vintage, so it's always a good idea to check tasting notes or reviews for the particular year you are interested in.

Tasting Notes

This is a vividly bright wine in colour with pale sun bleached hay and green hues. The creamy vanilla bean and subtle spices come out on the palate as well as yellow peach and honeydew melon while white stone fruits dominate the aromatics. The palate however is dominated with hints of citrus and a full buttery nougat. Subtle integrated spicy/creamy oak and mouth-watering acid completes a generous and textural palate with exceptional length.
