A silky, mouth-filling, medium-bodied Chardonnay with ripe red apple melons, tropical fruit note and toasty oak and sweet cake spice flavours with a smooth and lingering lemon curd finish. So delish now.

Chardonnay food pairings: toasted ravioli served with Alfredo sauce, pork tenderloin, crab cakes, gougère.

From the Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley Beringer Luminus 2017 is fresh with melon, tropical fruit, spicy and lemon tarte aromas on the nose. Medium-bodied, smooth and mouth-coating on the palate with ripe tropical fruit, red apple, melon, baking spice and toasty oak flavours. Nicely done. Aged in 50% French and Hungarian oak barrels. Enjoy with roast chicken or Cornish game hens. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
