Zuccardi is one of the biggest and most trusted names in Argentine wine, and this unconventional blend of Chardonnay with 15% Viognier is a proven Vintages customer favourite. Always nicely balanced, bright and lively, with ripe apple, peach and tropical fruit embroidered by floral and honey overtones courtesy of the Viognier. It's a lovely pairing for carnitas with tangy pineapple-mango salsa. |
