Aromatic layers of citrus fruits such as key lime and lemon peel greet the nose, followed by soft vanilla notes. A crisp front palate gives way to tropical honeydew melon flavors that are complemented by hints of peach and white nectarine, followed by an elegant and long-lasting finish.
This wine pairs perfectly with an oven baked halibut served with a light salad of corn, fresh tomatoes and basil. A creamy summer risotto with vegetables would also lend well to this Monterey chardonnay.
