Famille Paquet Macon Saint Veran 'En Creche' 2020 waiheke 40 per cent Touriga FrancaChardonnay is a very challenging wine to make in a lower alcohol style, but this rendition works, presenting a mellow expression that has length on the palate. The nose begins with pastry flake, lemon tonic and wood spice aromas, and the palate adds lemon wedge, light almond and white rose petals to the mix. An excellent accompaniment to fish, white meats and cold starters.
