NEON Chardonnay is a bright, approachable white wine that showcases the classic character of Chardonnay grapes with an easygoing, medium-bodied profile. Pale straw in the glass, it catches light with a subtle sheen that hints at freshness and gentle ripeness.
On the nose, expect lifted aromas of green apple, pear and a touch of citrus, complemented by soft floral notes and a whisper of creamy texture. The bouquet is balanced between fruit clarity and a gentle roundness that invites a first sip.
The palate is smooth and steady, guided by moderate acidity and a plush mid-palate that carries flavors of baked apple, ripe pear, and light stone fruit. A delicate mineral edge and faint spice give structure without dominating the wine’s overall clarity.
At 12.5% alcohol, this Chardonnay strikes a measured balance between freshness and body, finishing with a clean, slightly warm finish that lingers with fruit and a soft savory thread. Serve slightly chilled for best expression.
Tasting profile and style
Visually, the wine displays a pale golden hue that suggests gentle ripeness rather than overt oakiness or heaviness.
Aromas lean toward orchard fruits and citrus peel, with floral hints that add lift and approachability.
The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, offering a round center with enough acidity to keep the wine lively and balanced.
Flavor-wise, expect apple and pear to lead, supported by subtle stone fruit and a light, mineral-driven finish that keeps the wine refreshing.
Food pairings and serving
This Chardonnay pairs naturally with a wide range of dishes, from light seafood and shellfish to simply prepared chicken or turkey.
It complements creamy cheeses and soft-bodied goat cheeses, where its acidity cuts through richness and refreshes the palate.
Try it alongside pork dishes, fresh salads, and vegetarian plates featuring roasted vegetables or mild, creamy sauces.
For dessert, it works well with fruit-forward sweets, especially those featuring apples, pears or stone fruits.
Recommended serving temperature is around 15–20 °C to allow the aromas to open while maintaining a crisp, refreshing finish.
