Why it works;

The earthiness from the mushrooms combined with the hearty flavour of the creamy sauce requires a wine which can stand up to these big, bold flavours. This is a rich, indulgent dish, making Nepenthe Altitude Chardonnay's crisp acidity a welcome relief. This Adelaide Hills, cool climate Chardonnay has bags of freshness and vitality, with white peach and hints of sweet spice from French oak. This wine displays wonderful texture before citrus flavours appear steering the wine to a long finish.

A Nepenthe Chardonnay won't just pair well with this dishes' robust flavour, it will make it shine. Both the food and wine delights the mouth in different but compatible ways. Fantastic with food, but utterly gorgeous all on its own too.

 

 

Here this crisp, weighty Nepenthe Chardonnay is perfectly matched with the hearty flavours resulting in a combination that will delight your guests. Enjoy in its youth, slightly chilled.
