Sheild Chardonnay - Drinks Cabinet Ltd

The vegan-produced Sheild Chardonnay from Drinks Cabinet Ltd flows into the glass with a dense golden yellow. On the nose, this Drinks Cabinet Ltd white wine reveals all kinds of peaches and lemons. As if that were not already impressive, the maturation in small wooden barrels also adds butter and hazelnut notes.

This white wine from Drinks Cabinet Ltd is perfect for wine lovers who like it absolutely dry. Sheild Chardonnay comes very close to this, having been vinified with just 1.2 grams of residual sugar. Thanks to its pronounced fruit acidity, Sheild Chardonnay presents itself on the palate as wonderfully fresh and lively. On the finish, this white wine from the New Zealand South Island wine-growing region delights with remarkable length. Hints of peach and lemon appear once again. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the soils dominated by gravel and clay are added.
