100% ChardonnayDelicate & complex. Lemon curd & marzipan.
Tasting Notes
Abate Nero Domini 2013 is straw yellow and has a fine and persistent beam.
The nose is delicate and complex with notes of lemon curd and patisserie with meringue and marzipan but also raspberry cheesecake. It has a sweet yet refreshing character.
On the palate Domini 2013 is round with notes of lemon curd and marzipan again.
The finish is long and very pleasant.

Chardonnay is a grape variety with a green skin that is used to make white wine. The grape variety originated in eastern France’s Burgundy wine region, but it is now grown all over the world, from England to New Zealand. Growing Chardonnay is seen as a rite of passage for new and emerging wine regions, as well as an easy entry into the international wine market.
