CARNUNTUM | ÖSTERREICH
Chardonnay TBA 2008
This is the great exception for our estate, botrytis is very rare in Carnuntum. An intensely aromatic wine with notes of dried fruit and cinnamon. On the palate, its sweetness is very well supported by the acidity. The finish is refreshingly long and makes the drinker long for the next sip…

this wine’s favourite partner is salty blue-veined cheese like Roquefort or Stilton. Sometimes difficult to pair with dessert – so serve it instead of dessert! The high degree of concentration will keep the onceopened bottle in good shape for up to four weeks in the refrigerator.
