Artelium Chardonnay
A vibrant white wine with bright lemon citrus, tropical fruit, and a lively finish
Artelium Chardonnay from East Sussex, England, is an elegant, poised still White wine. This dry blend of Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Gris, with the latter undergoing five months of barrel ageing on lees in third-fill French oak, offers bright lemon citrus, juicy mango, and pineapple at its core. The subtle and refined nose reveals a distinct note of struck match, while the palate balances delicious fruit with tense, lively acidity, leading to a long and satisfying finish. Vegan and vegetarian-friendly, this versatile wine pairs beautifully with fresh fish, shellfish, herby roast chicken, or creamy mushroom dishes.
