Bodegas Nekeas Blanco
Spanish wine has become a go-to for us recently because no matter what the weather, the bursting fruit and flavours from every bottle are reminiscent of sun, warmth and fun. This Chardonnay is no exception. You are transported to the Spanish countryside from the first sip. Big and delightful flavours of melon and pear are balanced with a light and zippy freshness and a hint of lime. This is a thirst quenching and easy drinking bottle that works with a variety of foods and occasions.
