Familie Descombe introduces its new, natural, skin contact Chardonnay, "Miss Chardo".
The grapes are manually harvested in the South of Beaujolais, followed by an eight-day skin maceration with whole clusters. It was fermented with native yeasts, followed by a natural malolactic fermentation to express its heritage. No sulfites were added during the vinification process.
Miss Chardo offers a bright orange color. It offers scents of apricot, delicate honey, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is light with crisp acidity, offering high finesse through the well-integrated, fine-grained tannins. Its light body, combined with its delicate finesse, makes it an easily approachable expression for new natural wine drinkers or those just starting their orange wine experience.
A great choice if you're having oily fish - like barbequed mackerel - of Thai food.
