2005 Cable Bay Chardonnay Waiheke Island

1 Comment

This is THE Chardonnay for folks who don’t enjoy big, buttery California Chardonnays.  It’s not heavy on the oak, but has enough of it to make it…interesting.  This New Zealand wine is similar to a French Chardonnay and is dry with a fresh, complex taste.

Around $30.

PS: Good call pairing this wine with smoked salmon Jean-Guy

  Sounds cool! I used to be more into the big buttery ones, but now my taste for Chard has gone more this direction! I’ll keep an eye out for it!
