Critic's Rating 89 pts

Our 2021 Bella Terra Chardonnay Sur Lie starts off with aromas of tropical fruit like bananas, yellow apple, and pears. To taste, this dry wine has a balanced acidity, layered with flavours of fresh yellow apple, cantaloupe, and a creamy finish.

We recommend pairing this wine with fettuccine with white truffle butter, or some scrumptious escargot!

Residual sugar: 7.3 g/L

Some lees stirring is employed in the making of this unoaked style of Chardonnay. The nose shows creamy pear, yellow apple, and lemon tart amid a seam of freshness. It has a creamy texture, ripe orchard fruits, zesty citrus, and mouth-watering acidity on the finish. If you prefer your Chardonnay unoaked, but love texture, take this out for a spin.
