Paselen Elements Bright Chardonnay 2020

Paserene Elements Bright Chardonnay 2020

Maker comment

Bright's scent opens with a refreshing citrus scent followed by a hint of minerality. Inhaling this light wine reveals summery notes of white orange blossom, neroli and orange peel. The palate reveals flavors of fresh lemon peel, tropical pineapple, rich crème patissiere, buttery almond croissant and freshly made matches. A fresh, mineral wine with a crisp core, light spice and sweet honey notes.

food pairing

A bright Chardonnay, it pairs wonderfully with light summer salads and all types of poultry, and is also delicious with fatty tuna or salmon. It also pairs well with pork dishes such as buttered pork chops, and indulgent meals such as lobster and shrimp in creamy sauces. The salty, toasted flavor of roasted nuts makes it a great snack and pairs well with cream-based pasta dishes.
