Hard to think of a better pairing for the cuisine of Smyth than white Jura. Here, a blend of 80-20 Chardonnay and Savagnin. It’s pulsatingly energetic with racy lemony acids giving vibrancy and lift to its salty, nutty and mineral flavors. It’ll certainly gain complexity with more age but it’s drinking beautifully now out of the decanter. A tremendously food friendly wine.
