About the wine
Tasting notes
There’s a developed feel here with rich, candied lemon and pineapple, as well as grilled hazelnuts and praline.Vibrant stone fruit with hints of citrus dance across the palate with support from some toast and spice from the oak. It has a taut and zipped-up feel with plenty of deep, lemon-candy and peach flavour. Really long hold on the finishAllegra is concentrated and finessed, a wine that is both immediately appealing but will benefit from bottle age.

Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
