SALVARE CHARDONNAY MATCH
Penne, Peas and Parmesan
Wine match
Peas are naturally sweet, but the savoury notes added by the spring
onions and Parmesan cheese really do warrant a chardonnay that has
spent time in oak barrels.
Salvare Estate Chardonnay
is a new kid on the block from Hawke's Bay, but it has already acquired
a couple of gold medals. Elise Montgomery, who spent several years as
chief winemaker for Vidal Wines, was the winemaker. She arranged for
the grapes to be picked by hand, then split their juice into two
"parcels'' intending to ferment some in oak barrels and the rest
in stainless steel. The resulting wine has pleasant peach and lemon
rind aromas leading to a smooth flavour with exactly the combination of
sweet fruit and savoury notes that we need.
