I can definitely find a lover of European wines in this. Steely, lush and bright - delicate balance with notes of green apple skin, honeydew, and lemon zest. Great for fire roasted cauliflower!

Testing the ageability of Stelvin wines. Remarkably fresh, very little color variation from current release, fruit has turned savory.

What a wonderful example of a clean, balanced unoaked Chard. You can really taste the unique characteristics of the fruit. Another winner for Wynne!

Used to this being a fresh youthful easily quaffable wine, but this after 5 years has developed some richness. Lovely.

I used to sell a lot of this waiting tables some years ago. Now I remember why.

Chablis-like in style without the overt mineral quality. No oak was harmed in the making of this wine!
